Childrens

It is 1945 and twelve-year-old Rusty is back in England after five years in the USA. In a world of war-damaged cities, rationing and drabness, where even her family seem like strangers, Rusty feels alone and homesick as she tries to belong to two countries at once. Finally, her tough spirit leads her into a dramatic and devastating rebellion. 'This was an excellent book it stayed in my hands from beginning to end. The reader can feel every emotion. I think that it is suitable for anyone from about ten upwards. Michelle Magorian is a very talented author with a rare skill to be able to engross people in her books.' Emer – age 12-14
