About This Book
World War II is just background noise for Frankie Wattleson. His life revolves around action-packed radio dramas like "Buck Rodgers" and "The Lone Ranger." Suspense, heroism, thrills — what more could an American boy want?Frankie's mom can't stand her son's hobby, though, and neither can his teacher, Miss Gomez. It all spells doomsday for Frankie — unless he, disguised as radio detective Chet Barker, can cook up a plan to save the day.
Tune in tomorrow to find out how this hilarious drama unfolds!
