A Girl Scout Troop Joins the Battle of the Atlantic Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this new series celebrates the unsung heroes--the heroines of WWII. Ginny Mathis was finished with nursing school and had no intention of staying rooted in the Outer Banks--then war broke out. With her father away, she feels duty-bound to stay and help her mother and younger sister. While working as a clerk for the Oregon Inlet ferry, naval officers ask Ginny and others to be watchful for German U-boats reportedly spotted in the area. So to help occupy her teenage sister, Ginny enlists the Girl Scout troop she leads to help watch for suspicious activity along the coast. Timothy Elliott is no stranger to death. As a British reporter working with the M-6, he's numb to the losses of war after two years of fighting the Germans. Maybe that's why he volunteered for this mission--to connect with an ex-German naval officer who stole the Furor's battle plan for the Atlantic war. When the boat giving him passage to New York is bombed near the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Tim is thrown from the boat and wakes up in the care of a group of young girls. Ginny follows her sneaky sister on a clandestine mission and discovers the shipwreck victim. Ginny knows she must take charge, but is this man the enemy, or does he hold secrets that could turn the tide of the Battle of the Atlantic in the allies' favor? ?Don't miss these other stories: The Cryptographer's Dilemma by Johnnie Alexander Picture of Hope by Liz Tolsma Saving Mrs. Roosevelt by Candice Sue Patterson Mrs. Witherspoon Goes to War by Mary Davis A Rose for the Resistance by Angela K.

I enjoyed the camaraderie and friendship of this small band of girls. There was a small amount of suspense through-out the story; with a sweet romance for Ginny.
I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.
