Every morning before school, Nancy Edwards checks the casualty lists on the back page of the newspaper. She reads down to the E's. If her father's name isn't there, she folds the paper and leaves for school.
The war has come to Bolton Road. Nancy and her friends are determined to do their bit; they've raised money with backyard concerts and toffee sales. But when a neighbourhood pilot is reported missing in New Guinea, pennies don't feel like enough anymore.
The Bolton Road Spy Catchers are born.
Armed with curiosity, courage, and a fierce sense of patriotism, Nancy, Janet, Mabel, and Lennie begin watching for anything suspicious. Foreign accents. Mysterious neighbours. Unexplained movements after dark. Could enemy agents really be hiding on their own street?
But hunting for suspects in your own neighbourhood turns out to be a lot more dangerous, and a lot more surprising, than running a concert in a chook shed.
Funny, brave, and full of heart. A middle grade adventure about friendship, home-front heroism, and finding courage when the world feels uncertain.
