| Summary |
"Bob Cook and the German Spy" by Paul G. Tomlinson is a fictional novel written during the early 20th century, likely around the time of World War I. The book explores themes of patriotism and the impact of war on everyday American life, centered on the adventures of young Bob Cook and his friends as they confront the reality of espionage and sabotage in their community. The opening of the book introduces the Cook family as they react to the news of the United States declaring war on Germany. The story quickly reveals Bob's desire to contribute to the war effort despite being too young to enlist. Tensions rise as familial discussions reflect the mixed feelings about the war, particularly towards those of German descent living in America. Following a series of events, including an altercation with a boy named Frank Wernberg—who openly supports Germany—Bob and his friend Hugh become entangled in wider conspiracies involving spies and potential threats. Their adventures lead them to uncover suspicious activities in their town, culminating in an unexpected and mysterious connection to their own lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
