Hydrofoil+and+myestery

//Hydrofoil Mystery //, by Eric Walters 

this is a Young Adult Novel. The year is 1915 and Canada is deeply involved in World War One. The main character of this book is Billy McCracken. He is 15 years old and lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia with his mother and sister. His father is a sailor in the Navy. Billy had a lot of bad friends in Halifax, so his mother decided to send him off to Baddeck in Cape Breton to work for a man named Mr. Bell. Billy is given a job as a sheep herder. There is a special boat house down on the shore where hydrofoil is being built. Billy is desperate to see what it looks like, but it is not until one night when he saves the boat house from a fire, that he is moved to the boathouse to work there. In the next few weeks Billy prevents several more attacks on the boat house, and then one last attack on the main house where the Bells lived.  This is an excellent book about Alexander Graham Bell and his hydrofoils. Alexander Graham Bell was a great inventor, he made the telephone and he made a connection with deaf people because his mother was deaf too.
