Bookroo's summary

Caroline suspects a spy is sabotaging Abbott's Shipyard in Sackets Harbor. With British spies rumored nearby, her father's old friend arrives, and strange mishaps follow. Is the saboteur a trusted worker or this mysterious newcomer? As tensions rise, Caroline must unravel the truth before it's too late. Dive into a tale of intrigue and loyalty set against the backdrop of the War of 1812.

From the publisher

When Caroline learns that British spies may be lurking in Sackets Harbor, she is worried. Then, a long lost friend of Papa’s shows up in town. Papa is delighted to give him a job at Abbott’s Shipyard, but soon, strange things start going wrong. Caroline is sure a spy is making trouble at the yard–but is it one of Abbott’s trusted workers, whom she has known all her life, or could it be Papa’s dear friend? An illustrated “Looking Back” section discusses the role of spies in the War of 1812.
