    About this ebook

    1941: London is being bombarded during the Blitz, and Josie finds it hard to understand her brother's decision to be a conscientious objector. But when she goes to stay at No.6 Chelsea Walk with her cousin Edith and is drawn into tormenting one of her new classmates, Josie learns what it means to stand up for her own beliefs. Ann Turnbull’s previous novels have been shortlisted for several awards, including the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize and the Whitbread Children’s Book Award.
