Summary This is a heart-wrenching, unforgettable story of two evacuee sisters during the Second World War. London, 1942: Thirteen-year-old Nell and five-year-old Olive are being sent away from the devastation of the East End. They are leaving the terror of the Blitz and nights spent shivering in air raid shelters behind them, but will the strangers they are placed with be kind and loving, or are there different hardships ahead? As the sisters struggle to adjust to life as evacuees, they soon discover that living in the countryside isn't always idyllic. Nell misses her mother and brothers more than anything but she has to stay strong for Olive. When little Olive's safety is threatened by a boy at Hackers Farm, Nell has to make a decision that will change their lives forever. They must run from danger and try to find their way home. Together the two girls hold each other's hands as they begin their perilous journey across bombed-out Britain. But when Nell falls ill, can she still protect her little sister from the war raging around them? And will they ever be reunited from the family they've been torn from?
