Carnegie Medal winner in 1975.
This is one of the best war books ever written for children. Completely unputdownable, scary an dincredibly well portrayed characters. It captures the life during World War II so brilliantly though not surprisingly as Westall, who dies some years ago now, was a brilliant writer and a great storyteller. Incredibly relevant to today’s world where we appear all too quick to go to war. (12+)
