WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE TRULY BRAVE?

It's the summer of 1943, and eleven-year-old Cory Woodford and his friends are building go-carts, playing baseball . . . and tracking down Nazi spies. But soon, Cory and his friends learn that the world isn't as black and white as they thought. And Cory begins to realize that right and wrong are more complicated than in his beloved comics. As he makes mistakes and even hurtful decisions, he ultimately discovers the true meaning of bravery.
