Given their youth, the friends don’t always understand, at least to begin with, the full import or implications of the things they see or hear their parents discussing. Beautiful quality paper and an extra plus was that it came early! And you know why that is?

The book takes place over the whole of the second world war it follows each child and their family’s as they navigate a new life during the war. This is especially evident in the case of Max, who emerges as the most complex character and the only one of the three children whose thoughts are communicated in the third person.
