Book 1: Camp X

Warning Spoilers It is wartime, and nearly-12-year-old George and his 14-year-old brother Jack had moved with their mother to Whitby, Ontario from their farm in the summer of 1943. Their father was off fighting Germany in Africa and Jack and George's mom works for a munitions factory. Their summer was plain. But then, one day, after playing hide and seek they stumbled into a military base. There, their curiosity leads them to the discovery of Canada's Top Secret Military Base for training spies, Camp X. After sneaking around, they are caught by the guards and were forced to sign the Official Secrets Act. They learn much about the camp and are sent off with tasks improving the security. When delivering newspapers one day for Mr. Krum, Mr. Krum kidnaps the brothers for information about the camp. Jack and George are tortured and almost killed, but they learn about the plan to invade Camp X. They get away and warn the Camp X of the attacks that are planned. They risk their lives to warn Camp X.
