The humorous cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach encourage readers to get emotionally involved with the characters and to follow them across England from London to the far reaches of the country. We look at the hardships faced in times of war, such as bombs and rationing. The book features handy hints that help to keep you alive and well in this dangerous time! Informative captions, a comprehensive glossary and an index make this title an ideal and fun introduction to the conventions of non-fiction texts.
