Keep Calm and Carry On, Children by Sharon K. Mayhew
This was such a fascinating book - and being based on a true story, makes it all the more interesting. The imagery is so vivid, you're transported back to WWII, bombing raids and all. I was impressed with Mayhew's ability to bring everything to life, including the sounds. For a book targeting younger readers, I got so wrapped up in it that I flew through it pretty quickly. This is a great way to give younger readers an insight into a horrible time during history that might only be lightly touched upon in their classes at school. Highly recommend!… (more)
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Engrossing, exciting and heartbreaking story of WWII through children's eyes. While there were a couple of things I wasn't too fond of in the story, I realize often we can't understand others' choices unless we've been there ourselves. Good plot, characters were well developed and the history was really interesting. This is a middle grade to young adult read, but it was worth the time to pick up.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.Based on historical events. This story gives a different perspective to the evacuations of London. The story is told through the eyes of a child. It was a short story, but packed full of many details.
