Portsmouth, England, 1943. The fate of a Royal Navy ship hangs in the balance, and three teenagers are the only ones who know. When Lena overhears a whispered conversation and discovers a coded note tucked inside a library book, she has no idea she's stumbled onto something far more dangerous than she could imagine. Together with her friends Tommy and Elsa, she begins to unravel a sinister plot: someone is signaling to mysterious boats lurking outside Portsmouth Harbor, planning to sabotage a vital naval vessel. Their search for answers leads them to an abandoned church basement, where they find boxes filled with secret codes and a hidden radio. But when they try to sound the alarm, no one will listen. Adults dismiss them as "emotional young people" caught up in wartime hysteria. Teachers brush aside their concerns. Even their own families won't take them seriously. Then the accusations begin, and one of them is branded a spy. As suspicion turns friends into suspects and neighbors into enemies, Lena, Tommy, and Elsa must race against time to expose the truth before it's too late. In a world torn apart by war, where loyalty is tested and courage comes at a price, three ordinary teenagers will discover that sometimes the most important battles are fought not on distant shores, but in their own hometown. A gripping historical mystery that brings World War II to life through the eyes of young heroes fighting to be heard, to be believed, and to save lives before the enemy strikes, based on authentic historical details from wartime Britain.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.?

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
