Olive Bright is in for the mystery of her life just as she is longing to do something to help the war effort many opportunities arise. She is faced with the mysterious death of a resident of her neighborhood and is given the chance to help her country and she and the reader is taken along for a mysterious trip and probe for the answers with Olive.
Overall, Olive is a great character. She stands her ground and wants to be her own person and do her part to make the world a better place. She is someone you can look up to and want to be friends with as well.
The story has a good pace and keeps you interested with everything that is going on from the mysterious death, Olive's relationship with Jamie, and if she is going to be able to help her country and how exactly that will work out for her. You are drawn in to care about certain characters because the Graves gives detailed descriptions of what their personalities are and how they are perceived.
My only real complaint with this book was that I was looking forward to a scene where Jamie and Olive make it know hoe exactly they feel about one another, maybe even a kiss. I was denied that though and would be lying that it left a little sour note as the book was finished.
