A lonely rich girl impulsively swaps places with a girl named Shona while being evacuated because of the London Blitz, and finds a whole new family and life. One of my favorites.
Karisimo I love stories about the children‘s evacuation from London! Thanks for sharing!! 9mo
willaful @Karisimo Oh, this is such a good one. Another I read recently is The Winter is Past. (Not a children's book, but has a major child character.) It's awfully sad though.
