Turbo AI Book Summaries

Thirteen-year-old Michael O'Shaunessey lives a perilous double life in Nazi Germany: the Irish ambassador’s son and an Allied spy. He infiltrates the Hitler Youth, befriends Fritz—whose father is building the experimental jet Projekt 1065—and exploits his photographic memory to steal secrets while he battles a crippling fear of heights, the threat of exposure, and a conscience sharpened by a rescued Jewish RAF pilot who mentors him. As the jet’s blueprints come within reach, Michael chooses which loyalties to betray and which lives to risk, sacrificing innocence to stop a weapon that may tilt the war.

This guide delivers crisp chapter-by-chapter summaries, incisive character studies, focused theme analyses, and a curated set of key quotes. It helps you follow every turn of Michael’s mission, decode motives and symbols, and deepen your appreciation of Alan Gratz’s craft.
