(2) 4-6 In 1953 small-town Vermont, fifth grader Hazel Kaplansky is friendless until a stranger, Samuel Butler, comes to town. The kids team up in hopes of catching the Russian spy who is reputed to be operating in their town. The sense of the time period is seamlessly portrayed, and the limited third-person narrative allows readers to see Hazel's superciliousness as well as her insecurities.
