Summary: World War II is on everyone's mind and in every headline, and Howie Crispers has a hunch that his school principal is a spy. With a little snooping around, Howie finds out something even more alarming. Principal Lomister may not be a spy, but he is plotting to get rid of Howie's favorite teacher. Howie's dad is fighting Nazis overseas, and his mom is working hard to support the war effort, so Miss Gossim is the only person Howie can depend on. With the help of his friends, and a plan worthy of radio show superhero Captain Midnight, Howie intends to save Miss Gossim!
My Take: A great book, not only well written (as always by Avi) but puts one right back in time historically. Howie Crispers is a kid with good intentions who sometimes doesn't exactly keep his word. Ask him best friend, Denny. Between the two of them they promise no secrets but when it comes to Miss Gossim, they find it hard to tell each other all that they know. A secret crush, by both of them, keeps them from revealing all they know.
another in a long line of classic Avi book. If you haven't read any of his books, do so now! They are just wonderful!
