Off duty, the nurses "adopt" 6-year-old Muriel Grainger, who has known nothing but war in her short life, and whose mother has been killed by the Germans. Her ...

"One of Cherry's more exciting adventures. Again, she doesn't really provide any nursing care, but at least this time she's involved in a dangerous wartime mission."
"I started collecting Cherry Ames books when I was a little girl. Written during a period when there was an obvious shortage in the nursing field, the books were written to expose young girls to the excitement of nursing coupled with the entertainment of a mystery. Good memories, but not exactly applicable today, especially in regards to the medical treatment and advice included in the stories. Still collecting though! And yes, I did become a nurse..."
"The best of the series IMHO! Formulaic, yes, contrived plots, yes, but with the previous book, preserved the heroism and courage of the women who served in WWII and were shunted off to the side afterwards...."
