Back Cover
Imagine being alive before your parents were even born! George is fascinated by World War Two - bombers, Nazis, doodlebugs. Even evacuation and rationing has got to be more exciting than living in dreary old Witchfield! He is looking forward to his school trip to Eden Camp, a World War Two museum. But he doesn't realize quite how authentic this visit to wartime Britain will be. . . A hand reaching out of the fake rubble, a slip in time, and George has to survive something much worse than boredom. The rubble is now real - he has slipped through time into 1940s London! 'Plots which grip the reader from the opening paragraph' Cover: Tracey & Jerry Paris
