Bookroo's summary
As war looms over London, young Hettie watches her world transform with blacked-out windows and bomb shelters. Sent to the countryside with her brothers, she must navigate the fear of separation and the challenge of staying connected to her family. With bombs threatening her home, Hettie discovers that bravery is her only ally. Can she keep her family united amidst the chaos of war? This gripping tale of resilience and courage will leave you questioning what it truly means to be brave in the face of danger.
From the publisher
London schoolgirl Hettie hears the whispers and sees the worry creeping across her parents’ faces. She watches as the windows in her home are blacked out. She helps her dad build a bomb shelter. She learns how to wear a gas mask. War, led by Adolf Hitler, is stomping its feet at Great Britain’s doorstep, and Hettie knows only one thing for certain: When the bombs come, it will take all the courage she has to be brave and survive.
