Southampton, England. June 1944. 12-year-old Tommy Collins is with his father, Lieutenant Commander Lawrence Collins, who’s hard at work on Most Secret plans for Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of France.

With his father busy with planning meetings, Tommy has time to explore. He watches thousands of workers loading trucks, tanks, planes into ships ready to cross the channel, and thousands of soldiers and sailors, getting ready to fight. He hears about a Nazi spy captured. And he sees a girl with a funny accent poking around a bomb-damaged radio store!

But Annike Meyer is not the German spy Tommy thought: she’s a Jewish Kindertransport refugee, who’s assembling a wireless radio to contact her parents… whom she hasn’t spoken to in almost four years.

Annike and Tommy hear a nearby broadcast that they’re convinced is Nazi code. Unable to persuade the police or the military, the two trace the source of the broadcast—and they’re discovered and captured!
