Description

[Machine Translation] In February 1944, as Nazi Germany continues its air raids on London, 13-year-old Bertie receives an air raid alarm and rushes out into the city for his first mission as a messenger for the Civil Defense. On the back of his bicycle is his partner, a rescue dog named Little Roo. In his haste to pedal his bicycle, Bertie bumps into a girl and they both fall down. After the girl leaves, Bertie picks up a notebook on the street. It belonged to a woman trained to be a secret agent, and the second half of the sentence was in code. When Bertie is reunited with Eleanor, the American girl who dropped the notebook on the street, he learns that the French woman who wrote the notebook, Violette, has gone missing. In order to find her, he and his friend David, an aspiring detective, work together to decipher the code in the notebook... A children's mystery by an award-winning author of children's literature that shows children's courage and mystery-solving skills! Winner of the Oregon Book Award.
