Blitz by Robert Westall

Age range: 7 - 11


Stories of Wartime Childhood

A mysterious air-raid shelter... a plane crash under fire...a secret operation... a noise in the attic. The four stories featured in BLITZ share a common theme - World War II and its effect on the lives of ordinary people, especially children.

“brilliant...grips you like a Spitfire’s safety harness and comes to a halt a heartbeat before you’d prefer.”
BOOKS FOR KEEPS

“Westall captures the real essence of wartime childhood...a sense of excitement - both fearful and fun - of ordinary life lived at the edge of danger"
