Fourteen-year-old Frank Hollahan moves to Jacksonville, Florida, in 1943, at the height of World War II. A surprising new life awaits him there. When Frank informs everyone at his new school that he saw an enemy spy land on the local beach, no one believes him, but Frank sets out to prove the spy's existence. The spy who came in from the sea ends up teaching Frank and the people of Jacksonville valuable lessons about friendship, perseverance, and the power of the truth.

An excellent mystery adventure story set in FL during WWII

This is a great story about an eigth grader named Frank Hollahan who stumbles upon what he believes to be a spy one day at the beach. Unfortunately, he's got a reputation for telling "whoppers" all the time. Nobody thinks he's really telling the truth, so he decides to prove it himself. The story is set during World War Two, and is based on real happenings about German spies landing on U.S. shores near Jacksonville, Florida. The book does an excellent job incorporating history with fiction. But don't get the wrong impression; readers will find themselves carried along by the mystery and action itself. The author is definitely able to capture the unique feel of the World War Two era. Readers are sure to find themselves relating to events in the story that are as true today as they were then, such as Frank's struggle to make friends in a new place, dealing with a single-parent type of situation, as his father is away fighting the war, and striving to be taken seriously by adults and peers alike.

If you're looking for a good mystery adventure, this is a sure pick indeed.

As a teacher, I would recomend this as a good selection for an entire class to read together, and a must-have addition to the school library.

A Great Read!

I read the book The Spy Who Came In From The Sea by Peggy Nolan. I really enjoyed this book! It was interesting, exciting, and suspenseful. I thought the plot of World War I made it even more interesting! There are many unusual characters and events! I liked that about this book. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a great book!

A one of a kind book

This book is as exciting as a HARRY POTTER book! I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down. It is a great book for people who want to sit back, relax, and enjoy an excellent story. I thought the idea about having it in World War II and with spies was interesting. The characters are really fun and you would experience a really great adventure if you read this.

The Spy Who Came in from the Sea

This book was on my child's summer reading list. I tried numerous times to get it at the local bookstore. Each time I was told it was not available, they were having difficulty getting it in. Friends told me that their searches revealed that it was out of print. I checked on Amazon.com, and had the book in 2 days.
