War is coming in Europe. At least that's what Frankie Baum heard on the radio. but from her small town in Maryland, in the wilting summer heat of 1939, the war is a world away. Besides, there are too many other things to think about. First, Frankie's father up and bought a restaurant with out telling anyone and now she has to help in the kitchen, when she'd rather be racing to Wexler's Five and Dime on her skates. Plus her favorite sister, dealy departed Joanie Baloney, is away for the summer and hasn't been answering any of Frankie's letters. But when some people in town start acccusing her father of being a German spy, all of a sudden the war arrives at Frankie's feet and she can think of nothing else. Could the rumors be true? Frankie has to do some spying of her own, to try to figure our her father's secrets. What she discovers about him suprises everyone, but is nothing compared to what she discovers about the world
