My Story: Blitz by Vince Cross (author) (UK edition)

“As Dad went out for the evening shift, he looked up and said grimly ‘If they’re ever going to come, it’ll be on a night like this.’ And sure enough the first air raid warning came at a few minutes past nine…”

It’s 1940. Edie Benson lives happily with her family in Lewisham, London. Little does she know that the summer will be one of air-raid sirens and bombs raining down, tearing the heart out of London. As the city she loves is turned to a smoking wreck, it will soon become too dangerous for children, and Edie will be sent away from everything she knows and loves…

Love war stories?

I love war stories and liked the fact that throughout the book you were hoping the main character, Edie's house wouldn`t be bombed, that she would be okay as an evacuee and that her family members contributing to the war effort would be okay. To find out what happens by reading the book.
I rate this book 10/10, I love it alot as it is historical fiction and it is set in the blitz- if your Grandparents were around in the war ask them what the war was like- you may end up with a story just like this one!
