Product Description

Product Description

'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 it's 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. "One of the best loved of children's writers." - "The Times".

4.0 out of 5 stars you are way off!, 25 July 2007
By long time reader "AW" (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
responding to the previous reviewer, while this isnt the best of Westall's books,he is so good that anything he has written compares with the best children's authors! my children loved them, and i have given them to other children too. Sad that he is not better known as they also have genuine historical value, while written from a childs perspective.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not exactly wonderfull...., 2 Sep 2000
By A Customer
I'm not too sure about this book, the plot is complex and the language is strange. I wouldn't recomend it at all for younger readers. Sorry Robert...
