Twelve-year-old Nancy Caird is desperate to do her bit for the war. So when she suspects one of her teachers of being a German spy, she&#8217;s determined to foil his plans, and ropes in the reluctant Jamie Balfour to help her uncover the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Midshipman Harry Melville is on his first voyage aboard HMS <em>Argyll<\/em> as it forges through the black and stormy North Sea, unaware of both hidden rocks and German plots that threaten the ship.<\/p>\n<p>When Nancy and Jamie&#8217;s suspicions are confirmed, and they discover HMS <em>Argyll<\/em> is in deadly danger, they&#8217;re drawn into a web of espionage, secrets, and betrayal, where no-one is as they seem and no-one can be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>This book is based on the real-life wreck of HMS <em>Argyll<\/em> at the Bell Rock Lighthouse in 1915, and is the winner of the Great War Dundee Children&#8217;s Book Prize.
