Average rating
London is at war and as the Blitz rages, children like Josie and her brother Len face the same dangers as the adults. Can they find the strength to stand up against the onslaught?
A tale of amazing bravery, inspired by the true story of the Dead End Kids of Wapping – young people who fought fires and rescued their friends and neighbours from bomb sites. Perfect for fans of Michael Morpurgo, this dramatic story brings the Second World War vividly to life.
Reviews
WHAT. A. BOOK. This is my favourite book now! It shows what really happened to many children during the 'Blitz'. Also at the beginning there is something that really suprises me about the 'The Dead End Kids' (turn to page 5, two pages before the the first chapter). It is the perfect book people who want to learn about the past but don't want to read fact files or information books. FIGHTING USED TO BE A GAME . . . NOW IT'S WAR.
