Wesley and Charles have been sent by their parents to America to escape the bombing in Britain. They have been taken in by the Ratcliffe family. Both boys struggle to adjust to life in America and forget the travesties they witnessed. Charles struggles to get over his anger at the Germans especially when POWs are held nearby and are even hired to help on the Ratcliffe farm. Wesley suffers from nightmares.
There are a lot of good aspects to the book. The action is consistent throughout and the book moves steadily so even though it was over 200 pages it didn't like it. The book is part of a trilogy but I have never read the other two books and wouldn't have known if I hadn't read more information about the book. The author included some good background information and notes at the end.
I enjoyed the book...readit...
