"The war opened the world up to us. Not one of us was ever the same after that first summer." Mez Blume, author of the celebrated Katie Watson Mysteries in Time series, delivers a new classic for all ages. The story of the Briscoes - an ordinary British family who face the threat of German Invasion and rise to extraordinary acts of bravery - threads together the stories of real-life wartime families (including children) who joined the secret Special Duties Branch. Young readers' hearts will race as they join Ivy Briscoe, Teddy Woodall, and the 'Imps' (the Special Operation Cadet Kids) on their incredible adventures as part of the British Resistance. With characters who jump off the page, this book is as rich with humour and heart as it is with history.

Book Description
One of the premier tourist attractions of the eastern United States, the Blue Ridge Parkway stretches from Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in western North Carolina. This volume relates the author's one-of-a-kind backpacking trip along the 469-mile road, along with his observations and recollections regarding the Parkway, the most visited unit of the National Park Service. Beginning with his experience as a summer college intern, the book also covers the twelve years he spent working as a ranger on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Anecdotal history and accounts from some of the Parkway's earliest rangers complete this tale of one of our country's national treasures. The appendix contains a chronological, mile-by-mile re-creation of Pegram's 2003 trek, including the names of all the Parkway landmarks mentioned in the book.
