Amber Alessandra Leola Kimiko Miyamoto. As if her name made up
for being tiny, half Japanese and half Italian, and starting a new
school with a caveman phone. Dream on!

coming back, she’ll have to sort things out another way.

Partly autobiographical, this is the second title in Judith Kerr’s internationally acclaimed trilogy of books following the life of Anna through war-torn Germany, to London during the Blitz and her return to Berlin to discover the past…
It is hard enough being a teenager in London during the Blitz, finding yourself in love and wondering every night whether you will survive the bombs. But it is even harder for Anna, who is still officially classified as an “enemy alien”. Those bombs are coming from Germany – the country that was once her own. If Hitler invades, can she and her beloved refugee family possibly survive?

Bestselling Andy McNab and award-winning Phil Earle
join forces for the very first time, and the results are
hilarious!
Danny Mack's mates are brilliant: there's his best
mate Giraffles (yeh, you read that right), so-called because
of his unusually long neck; the MandM twins (you
got it - like the chocolate) who are always finishing
each other's sentences; and Lucky Success, who, well I reckon
you can guess how he got his name.
They're the best mates a kid could ask for, and when an epic
school trip is announced, they're all properly made up
about it.
Because school trips are just an excuse to have a big laugh with
your mates, right?
Erm, WRONG.
Let's just say that this is a school trip like no other,
and Danny, Giraffles, Lucky and the MandMs have got a real challenge
on their hands.
Will they make it through?
If Danny has anything to do with it, you bet they will!
