Young Adult
In 1941 London, fifteen year old Maggie Leigh learns that
war really can be hell.
Most children have already been evacuated from the city.
During the height of the blitz, Maggie is still living in
the heart of London, taking care of her disabled mother.
When a bomb explodes close to home, Maggie's mother decides
to send her away- to a secluded boarding school in rural
Whales. Although sad to leave her mother, Maggie is
relieved to escape the dismal, depressing life of wartime
London.
That relief quickly turns to fear when Maggie arrives at the
school, which is far from the haven she imagined. After
discovering a dying German soldier on the beach, Maggie
learns the school is hiding some serious secrets. Together
with three other teenage girls, Maggie flees the school, and
embarks on a harrowing journey back to London. Not all the
girls survive the trip.
