War Games

Thirteen year old Evie Harris can’t believe her luck. She’s going to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Germany to compete alongside American teammates like track star Jesse Owens. Evie’s just there to win a gold medal in gymnastics, but soon she discovers that behind all the Olympic fanfare, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis have Berlin in an iron grip of terror and violence—and war is brewing. To help fight back, she joins in on a mysterious and dangerous plot to steal Nazi gold. But can Evie stand up to evil and follow her Olympic dreams?
