About this listen

Award-winning, best-selling and beloved Jacqueline Wilson tells the fascinating, moving story of a girl sent away from home as an evacuee during the Second World War.

September, 1939. As the Second World War begins, 10-year-old Shirley is sent away on a train with her schoolmates. She doesn't know where she's going, or what's going to happen to her when she gets there. All she has been told is that she's going on 'a little holiday'.

Shirley is billeted in the country, with two boys from East End London, Kevin and Archie - and their experiences living in the strange, half-empty Red House, with the mysterious and reclusive Mrs Waverley, will change their lives for ever.

Jacqueline Wilson turns to this period of history for the first time, in this beautiful, moving story of friendship and bravery against the backdrop of the worst conflict the world has ever known.

Good view from the past

This book was gripping and is definitely good for children. It is set in the young mind of a evacuee and it is heartwarming, it made me laugh and cry.

I t was awesome

I really enjoyed this and I really do hope that you would think about another story to continue on from this one. About how the war goes, if she stays with the old ladies, her father, Archie and Kevin and how their relationship builds. Thank you for an awesome read.

To all the people who work for audible,

I loved this book so much.
I also loved how the person who was reading it made up voices for each character,
it really creates a picture in my head about who the characters are like, and what they sound like.
I have really enjoyed this book, and I'm looking forward to listening to another book from audible.


Thank you so much!

From Emilia.

I like it because it is like a rollercoaster of feelings first sad and gets exiting. And I loved the bit when she discovered the something beautiful and takes inspiration and makes her own design
