It's 1942, and the United States is at war. While most of the kids in Henry Hamilton's class dream of being soldiers and shipping off overseas, Henry wants to contribute in a different way: he dreams of being a reporter. When his city organizes an air raid program as part of its civilian defense efforts, he just might find the scoop he's been hoping for. But as he tracks down his leads, he discovers a story far more perilous and important than he could have imagined.

As the danger mounts, Henry must navigate dark forests, hidden tunnels, and even enemy spies and saboteurs in order to expose the shocking truth in this propulsive, high-stakes mystery.
