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 and Mister Johnny.
Hepzibah is rumoured to be a witch, but the children feel safe in
her warm kitchen and are spellbound by her stories. Just as Carrie
and Nick begin to settle into their new life, something happens
that tests their loyalties: will they be persuaded to betray their
friends? ILLUSTRATED BY ALAN MARKS
