This book is an amazing tale of a young girl evacuated to the country as war is about to be declared. It's tells it from her perspective and is well written that you can paint a picture of her experience in your own imagination.

My favourite part in this book was when the boys thought the army [shop] van for their camp beds came and they thought it was the real army as war was going on. My favourite character was Mrs Waverly because she had a dolls house and still played with it as a grown woman. I would recommend this book to someone who likes adventurous books as they escape going on a big adventure to London from the countryside.

This story is about a 10-year old girl called Shirley who gets evacuated to another country. She really misses her mum and dad but when the war is over they might be together again.
