In 1939 Hangerstown, Maryland, eleven-year-old Frankie faces suspicion that her German-born father is a Nazi spy.
Frankie Baum lives in Maryland, a world away from all the evil that Hitler is enacting in Europe. She's just busy trying to figure out how to escape the curse of having been born a Number Three, the third sister in her family. When her German-born father opens a new restaurant, though, some folks in town refuse to support him, claiming that he's a Nazi spy. And Frankie begins to wonder whether maybe they have a point—and decides to solve the mystery herself.
As Frankie works in the restaurant kitchen—alongside African American cooks and under the supervision of a racist manager—she begins to see more clearly what baseless discrimination looks like. And as the restaurant suffers from the allegations against Mr. Baum, Frankie takes it upon herself to save her father's dream.
