Bookroo's summary
During WWII, Britain faces a lumber crisis. Enter the Lumber Jills, brave women with little experience but immense determination. Can they overcome the odds and support the war effort? Discover their inspiring tale of courage and camaraderie.
From the publisher
In World War II, Great Britain needed lumber to make planes, ships, and even newspapers—but there weren’t enough men to cut down the trees. Enter the fearless Lumber Jills! These young women may not have had much woodcutting experience, but they each had two hands willing to work and one stout heart, and they came together to do their part. Discover this lyrical story of home front heroism and female friendship.

“The sentence structure of the book is a bit choppy but the story is interesting and teaches a bit of history that may be unfamiliar.”
