Summer 1940. As the cuckoo sings out across the Lake District, life is about to change for ever for local boy Tommy and his friend Sally, the mysterious evacuee girl who lives on the neighbouring farm. When they find a wounded Nazi airman in the woods, Sally persuades Tommy not to report it but to keep the German hidden. This starts a chain of events that leads to the uncovering of secrets about Sally’s past and a summer of adventure that neither child will ever forget.
Reviews
I found this book very interesting as it was a wartime adventure story, but it was also very upsetting as Sally's father had to give himself up but it was nice that she was then adopted by her friend Tommy's Auntie named Annie and as a result had a much nicer happier home. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes Wartime adventures as it was an absolute joy to read from beginning to end.
