The sled flies Matt and Emily to a ship heading for Halifax at the beginning of World War II. They meet Kate and her younger brother John, who have been sent to Canada to escape the German blitz bombings of London, England. John and Kate don?t want to be apart from their family but their parents have insisted. As they are about to dock, Kate can?t find John anywhere. She is desperate. Kate promised her parents she?d take care of her little brother. Emily and Matt help Kate search the ship for John, but where is he? Will they find him before the ship heads back to England?
