Put Out the Light Award-winning by Terry Deary (author) (UK edition)

It’s 1940, and war is underway. In Sheffield, England, a brother and sister set out to solve a mystery, brazenly believing that the air-raid signals are only false alarms. In Dachau, Germany, two boys come up with a bold plan to bring an end to the war and set free a Polish prisoner. But when the bombs falling on Sheffield become a reality, and the German boys are hurled into the midst of the action, the children’s adventures swiftly become a terrifying fight to survive.

“The balance of great dialogue and humour, blend seamlessly together in an exciting, nail biting read.” Irish Examiner
