Carrie's War

WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY EMMA CARROLL

''A touching, utterly convincing book'' JACQUELINE WILSON

''What a deep, dark, deceptively simple, brilliant novel it is'' EMMA CARROLL

''Poignant and realistic . . . Carrie''s War captures the true reality of war for a child, and it doesn''t sentimentalise war'' SHIRLEY HUGHES, GUARDIAN

''I did a dreadful thing, the worst thing of my life, when I was twelve and a half years old, and nothing can change it''

When the bombs rain down on London, Carrie and her little brother Nick are evacuated to a small town in the Welsh hills. Without their mother, and away from anything familiar, they must take refuge among strangers. Reluctantly, Mr Evans, the grocer, takes them in, with his kind, timid sister, Aunt Lou. But the children find little comfort in his austere home.

Their fellow evacuee, Albert, is luckier, living in a rambling old mansion with Hepzibah Green
