Synopsis
This is a compelling story of a courageous boy, a mystery and more. It is told with warmth and humor. The author clearly enjoyed the adventures of his character and his two friends, three English boys unexpectedly finding themselves against adult adversaries in the act of commiting a crime. The climax is hilarious and heroic, and David's bravery is tested. Three boys hide inside an organ in the old Benedictine abbey and make a discovery that reveals an exciting story of espionage from World War I. This is a first novel for a young reader. The author re-creates in words, sights and sounds a picturesque town in the north of England.
