Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The much-loved tale of a northern lad in WWII appears with an enchanting new cover.It was on a Sunday night in 1928 that Billy Hopkins made his first appearance. Billy's tenement home on the outskirts of Manchester would be considered a slum today, but he lived there happily with his large Catholic family, hatching money-making schemes with his many friends. When war came, and the Luftwaffe dominated the night sky, Billy was evacuated to Blackpool. There he lived on a starvation diet while his own rations went to feed his landlady's children - 'I might as well be in Strangeways!' But even the cruel blows that were to be dealt to the family on his return to Manchester would not destroy Billy's fighting spirit - or his sense of humour. A warm-hearted and powerful story of war, family and hope, OUR KID is the beloved, bestselling family saga based on Billy Hopkins' own experiences growing up in the harsh back streets of Manchester in the 1930s. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780755343188
