Written for readers who have finished Book 1.
Edie Fletcher is ten years old when the war sends her away — a London girl put on a train with a label round her neck and evacuated to a Devon farm she has never seen. Sharp, funny, and fiercely homesick, she lives the war at a child's height: her city on the wireless, her mother's letters in her pocket, and the front-door key to home worn smooth in her fist. Her story is the slow, reluctant discovery that a place you were sent to can become a place you belong — without the home you came from ever mattering less.
