When Alfie finds a young castaway on an uninhabited island off the coast of England, he and the town are all really curious as to who she is and how she got there. She won't speak and she doesn't interact with anyone. At first the rumors were that she was a mermaid. Then people began to think she was deaf and just couldn't hear when people spoke to her. Alfie's family takes her in and names her Lucy. Alfie tries to keep secret the fact that she was wrapped in a blanket with German writing. He is afraid that the islanders will think she is a spy. England is at war with Germany and everyone is afraid of Germans. What will they do when they discover the truth?
