The bombs are beginning to fall over Britain but four young children,
Boss, Brains, Muncher and Pip, are enjoying their freedom to play. The
setting is Coventry, 1940. Little do the children know that before the
year is out, they will be hoping to escape with their lives as they
shelter from the blitz of November 1940. The children's loyalty and
togetherness is ever evident. One for all and all for each other. Pip is
an absolute joy, Muncher is easy-going and a follower, Brains is just
Brains, quick-thinking but prone to cause trouble. Boss is the leader of
the group and is the central character around whom events unfold. Often
in trouble but ever cheerful despite numerous health and school
problems, he remained true to his friends and they to him. Read The
Blitz Kids and you will experience a touch of sadness but also fun and
joy, with children happy in each other's company.
