It's 1915, and the Great War is raging in Europe. What does that have to do with Port Arthur, Ontario? Heaps, thinks John Maki. Sure, he's a prankster and likes to have fun. But he's also a hardworking newsboy with a secret dream to be a reporter. So he keeps his eyes peeled, waiting for the big story. His older sister, Saara, has her own concerns, like her goal of becoming a teacher and people not speaking to her just because she befriends a German girl She scoffs at John's suspicions of German spies and blown-up bridges...surely not in northwestern Ontario.
Yet John knows that all of Canada's grain headed for hungry soldiers in Europe comes through Port Arthur first. A saboteur could do plenty of damage--to the city, the country and even the Mäki family ; "Sabotage" is the final book in a trilogy about a Finnish family in what was to become Thunder Bay, Ontario. The first two books are "Second Watch" and "Saara's Passage." "Sabotage," told by both Saara and John, takes us into a real-life world of espionage, sabotage and paranoia.
