Cover is a bit beat up and pages on the outside look a little rough from storage but the pages are good and its a fun suspenseful read. Nazis have sent their most brilliant operative to find? Thomas, an 11-year old boy with the mind of a genius, the cunning of a fox, and the chance of a snowball in Hell to escape...unless he is helped by one man. An American who doesn't even know he exists. A man he calls Daddy.
