Nina Bawden: Carrie's War, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'A poignant and realistic picture of what the second world war was like for a child' - Shirley Hughes, The Guardian 'A touching, utterly convincing book' - Jacqueline Wilson, author of The Story of Tracy Beaker

Carrie's War offers a window into the life of evacuees during World War Two, full of Nina Bawden's award-winning humour and heart. Perfect for ages 9+.

Carrie and her little brother Nick are evacuated from wartime London to the Welsh hills. Their new home with strict Mr Evans and his kind but timid sister, Auntie Lou, offers little comfort.

But then Carrie and Nick visit Albert, another evacuee, and Hepzibah Green welcomes them into her warm kitchen. People say that she is a witch, but Hepzibah's delicious cooking and enthralling stories are impossible to resist.

With the help of Albert, Hepzibah, and even Auntie Lou, Carrie and Nick begin to settle in. But before long, Carrie's loyalty is tested. Will she be persuaded to betray her new friends?
