In August 1914, thirteen-year-old Amy was trapped on the Belgian
seacoast as war was declared with Germany, alone with her younger
brothers. British, resilient and feisty, she got back to occupied
Brussels and began her war diaries. Amy knew Nurse Cavell and Ada
Bodart, members of the secret network to get Allied soldiers across
the frontier. She writes of zeppelins, food shortages, constant
gunfire and spies. She confronts a 'sneering' German who demands to
know where her brother is: 'I could have shot him, ' she comments.
Then it all changes: in 1917 her mother attacks her and Amy is
moved to a Catholic boarding school nearby. Constantly in trouble
for being disruptive, answering back, whistling, laughing in church
and climbing onto roofs 'for fun', she longs for the love and
approval of her teacher - and her estranged mother.
