A life-affirming story of courage and hope under fire.
When War breaks out, Billy's dad joins the army and most of his friends
are evacuated from Balham, South London. But Billy's mum doesn't believe
the bombs will ever fall on them and she refuses to send him and his
sister Rose away. Life in Balham has certainly changed for Billy: no
school, no friends and, because of rationing, no treats. But by
September 1940, things are about to get a lot worse. Hitler has a plan
for the destruction of London and soon Billy is caught up in the Blitz:
an event so terrifying, it will take every ounce of courage for him to
survive in war-torn Balham and keep his family together.
