Review:
From the Back Cover:
“Brilliant... grips you like a Spitfire’s safety harness and comes to a halt a heartbeat before you’d prefer.”

“Westall captures the real essence of wartime childhood... a sense of excitement – both fearful and fun – of ordinary life lived at the edge of danger.”

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.”
