I first read 'Across the Barricades' at school when was around 13 and I fell in love.
I went back and read 'The twelfth day of July' and I was instantly gripped by this beautifully written and thought provoking book.
I rushed through the rest of the series mesmerised by the realness of the characters;and found myself feeling as though I was part of their world reveling in their joy and sympathising with their plight.
12 years later I still think of these books with pleasure and it brings a smile to my face when a reference is made to them.
I would highly recommend

I've read all of the kevin and Sadie serise multiple times and I a always getting my friends to read them too. The last three are definatly my favourite of the five. Even if you know what happens at the end of the book they are still woth reading. The books may be fairly out of date but they are my ultimate no.1! I would definatly recommend them and Joan Lingard. I have barly been able to put them down to write a review!

This was a great book, but it should be stated that it's actually the last three stories in the series in one paperback - Into Exile, A Proper Place and Hostages to Fortune.
