This is my third attempt to review this book. One of the limitations of the app is that it doesn't allow you to edit reviews. Instead, if you create a second review it deletes the first. Wish I didn't have to find this out the hard way. Anyhow, I didn't finish listening to this book, even though I was enjoying it. The young narrator put in a valiant effort, and has a good voice, but his stumbles and mistakes made him difficult to listen to. I finished reading it via Gutenberg. Btw, there actually is historical veracity to this story. This isn't surprising given it was written in a contemporary timeframe. The author did take literary liberties with the boy's adventures. However, Boy Scouts did assist the army and contribute to the war effort. And as for Harry being left at home with the housekeeper at the outbreak of war, most people believed that the war would be a simple, brief and easily won affair. This is understandable given that the world had never experienced a war like it before.
Huh, what?!

Harry is an American boyscout living in London with his parents. England declares war with Germany. Almost immediately, his parents grab the last two berths on a steamer back to America leaving Harry to remain alone in London. WW2 is fully declared, but it's OK. There's an English housekeeper. HUH?!? Also, the English army wouldn't dream of allowing boyscouts to fight in war, but it's well known that they are amply suited to track down a series of German spy stations transmitting English secrets back to the mainland. Provided, of course, that the army first furnish Harry and another scout a couple of motorcycles and some secret codes. WHAT?!? Also, also, the narrator is a precocious boy who reads aloud better than I ever dreamt. This is embarrassing & unforgivable. ;)
