Sally Scott is a young woman ready to help America in anyway she can! Having enlisted in the WAVES, Sally takes a chance to help her old man neighbor determine if his newest invention really can aid America in the war, you see outside radios are not permitted, but Sally sneaks in this secret radio to try to test it out to see if it is as great as it's inventor hopes it will be! During her first few months as a WAVE Sally gets into some mishaps, meets new friends (and enemies), and experiences the battles of war all in the name of "DOING HER PART"!
This very Patriotic book for young adults is a juvenile sneak peek into what it was like for those who wanted to do their part to serve America during WWII - with added adventure.
You are sure to find this book on Etsy or Ebay in various condition for under $25. If there are none listed when you ready this, I am sure it will pop up again from time to time.
An easy read that gives adventure without being long winded. Patriotically inspirational.
**Note: For those interested in this book, but sensitive to language, this book was written at a time when Japan was enemies with America, so they are referred to as Japs a couple of times and the Black American Sailors are referred as "Colored Sailors" and their speech is spelled phonetically as it was perceived Black Americans spoke back then. These instances are very brief and do not carry out throughout the story.
