"SABOTAGE!
BOLD ATTACK ON PORT ARTHUR WIRELESS STATION!"
It's 1915 and the Great War is
raging in Europe. What does
that have to do with Port Arthur, Ontario? Heaps, thinks John Maki.
Sure, he's
a prankster, but he's also a hard-working newsboy with a secret dream
to be a
reporter. So he keeps his eyes peeled, waiting for the big story.
His older sister, Saara, has her own concerns, like her goal of becoming a teacher. And like people not speaking to her just because she befriends a German girl! She scoffs at John's suspicions. German spies, blown-up bridges...surely not in northwestern Ontario.
Yet
John knows that all of Canada's grain headed for hungry soldiers in
Europe
comes through Port Arthur first. A saboteur could do plenty of
damage to the
city, the country, and even the Maki family!
Sabotage
is the
final book of Karen
Autio's trilogy about a Finnish family in early Thunder Bay. This
story, told
by both Saara and John, takes us into a real-life world of espionage,
sabotage,
and paranoia - right here in Canada!
