Matthew's Dragon by Susan Cooper
Bill Dooley left a lucrative career as a music talent scout to pursue his dream of being a mountain lodge owner. Sadly, his big plans soon turn to nightmares. With extensive repairs required to bring the property back to its original state, Bill hires several townsfolk to help, including Ed the carpenter, Little Bit the housekeeper, and Lauri the bartender.
On New Year's Eve, high above the Fork River, chaos ensues. Partygoers are attacked. The enemy is just a single cell in hundreds that have invaded America to find hidden nuclear weapon plans. Some of the employees are forced to do as their captors say--like Lauri, who must serve the enemy food, drinks, and anything else they may desire.
Bill devises a plan to take back the mountain, even if they have to go underground to survive. Other townsfolk get creative, devising weapons out of crude farming equipment while staying alert at all times. As the leader, Bill must stay strong to keep things in some kind of order, find a way to rescue Lauri, and stop the infiltrators.
