The Evacuee Summer

Far from home, an adventure they'll never forget ... June 1940. Twins Connie and Jessie are reminded every day the difference between Yorkshire summer and what they had known previously in London's Bermondsey. But as the peace of the Phoney War ends, the evacuee children are oblivious to the darkening storm clouds over Europe. For life at Tall Trees vicarage in Harrogate seems full of fun and japes, with a problem that turns Jessie sleuth and an unexpected new member of the gang in the shape of the mischievous Milburn. And then some new evacuees move in just down the road, much bigger and rougher than the children from London ... In this heartwarming tale of evacuees far from home, Katie King returns with a novel full of nostalgia and delight.
