This one takes place through mid 1941 to late 1942, so you can see the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. I know I read this a girl but I forgot all about their experience with Nazis in New York! This would be a good one for those littles learning about WW2.

Honestly a really great read! The spice didn't happen until over halfway but man, when it spiced, phew.  I can't wait to continue with the series and see how this progresses!
