Book description
George is fascinated by World War Two. Bombers, Nazis, doodlebugs. But
he discovers the reality is very different from how he had imagined it
when a school trip to a World War Two museum leads to a timeslip - and
George is in London at the time of the Blitz! He joins up with a group
of other homeless children, struggling to survive. And then they suspect
someone they know of being a German spy...
