How can Cap and Bucky fight something that’s already dead? And just what does the mysterious Baron Mordo-sitting in his castle atop nearby Wundagore Mountain-have to do with all this?Ībout the Author, Illustrator, and ModeratorĪlan Gratz is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of seventeen novels for young readers, including Two Degrees, Ground Zero, Refugee, Allies, Prisoner B-3087, Projekt 1065, and Ban This Book.

Just when they and their British allies are about to be overwhelmed by the enemy, they’re saved by the United States Ghost Army-a real American unit from World War II made up of artists, actors, sound engineers, and advertising professionals who used inflatable tanks, giant loudspeakers, fake radio transmissions, and other props and tricks to deceive the Axis powers.īut the German army has a Ghost Army of its own–and theirs are the floating, undead, K*ll-you-with-a-death-touch kind of ghosts! They arise from their graves at night, attack, and disappear again as quickly as they appeared. It’s World War II, and Captain America and his sidekick Bucky Barnes are fighting the good fight against the Nazis in the Eastern European nation of Transia.
