From the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Geraldine McCaughrean comes an utterly immersive and unforgettable novel set during the London Blitz, inspired by her firefighter father. With the Second World War looming, four young people sit on a train waiting to be evacuated to a safer place...but they don't want to go. They climb out of the carriage and head back home to Greenwich, forming an unlikely friendship. They spend their days trying to be useful. Laurence is building a secret machine. Gemmy searches bombed-out homes for things of value - only to find an adorable mutt she can't even give away. Franklin wants to join the Fire Service, although it means lying about his age. Olive looks after her father, who is broken by the deaths of his fellow firefighters. And together, the four roam the streets of London, discovering their resilience amongst the secrets of the city. But as the Blitz unleashes a barrage of bombs on London, turning the sky ragged with flame, can the friends keep each other safe and survive?
Vir twee dekades reeds swaai Lillie die heksie haar towerstaffie
oor kinderboekrakke dwarsoor die wereld. Met totale wereldwye
verkope van meer as 20 miljoen eksemplare en vertalings in 40 tale
is geen towerformule nodig om te voorspel dat sy ook Afrikaanse
harte gaan verower nie! Die selfleesboekies is gemik om agtjariges
en ouer. Lillie is uit haar vel uit van blydskap toe sy ’n
mikroskoop vir haar verjaarsdag kry. Sy wil dit al so lank he!
Wanneer sy ’n sneeuvlokkie onder die lens plaas, is sy stomgeslaan
oor die prag en wil noodgedwonge ’n land van sneeu en ys besoek.
Met die heksesprong beland sy in Wonderland. Maar iets is daar nie
pluis nie. Die koning het vermis geraak en Somer- en Lenteland word
stadig maar seker al hoe kouer. Winter neem oor. En gerugte van ’n
wrede vors doen die rondte. Lillie en Hektor, haar draakvriendjie,
gaan ondersoek instel.
