It’s a tense time in Nazi-occupied Holland, and Tom, together with his friends Carl and Bert and his talented dog Scout, are involved in frightening situations as the Nazis go about their sinister work. Scout’s tracking ability and intelligence are invaluable as he rescues Tom as well as others. When Allied Canadian troops finally enter the area to liberate their village, fighting intensifies and the boys overhear a German plot. They realize it’s up to them and Scout to save the Canadians from an ambush, but can they trek through the dark, dangerous swamp in time?
Full of danger and bravery, this book vividly portrays the terrors of occupation, all the while showing the peace that comes from the Lord.
This is the first of the Scout series, by Dutch author Piet Prins.
