Set in WW2, Carrie and her little brother are evacuated to Wales and billeted at the home of the bullying Mr Evans and his timid sister Lou. Unhappy at home, they love visiting fellow evacue, Albert, at the farm of Druid's Bottom. Here they meet Hepzibah Green, who knows magical stories, and Mister Johnny, who speaks a language all his own. But then things go wrong and Carrie takes things into her own hands - without guessing the awful consequences.

I enjoyed this book as a child, it was a nice read and I actually read it a few times. It's a story about kids being evacuated from London to the country in World War II, and their adventures in the country. It's a lot darker than other evacuee books, but the story is very interesting and gripping. Nina Bawden is a good writer, I loved her books as a kid and recommend them to other children.
