Blitz. Robert Westall

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.Robert Westall’s powerful writing focuses not only on the drama and danger of living in a country at war, but also captures the heady excitement and almost farcical humour of exceptional circumstances.
