Why It Matters?
A tale of how youngsters lives in an Island Village were affected by so much of the Second World War. The story comes through the eyes of an evacuee from Portsmouth.
I lived my youth at this time and so much of the story registers with my memories too.
— Mr. Tony Gale
I applaud the lengths to which Jo has gone to to ensure the historical details are accurate. As a curator of a museum, I abhor facts not being facts! Partially based upon her own family's experiences during the war, this book is a fitting sequel to A Red Sky.
— Brian Harris - Curator
