A middle grade book about three orphans trying to find a new family during WW2. Sent out to the countryside from London they try and find their perfect home. William longs for someone else to take charge. Edmond falls into one scrape after another and Anna longs for a mother of her own.

A wonderful book about found family and the love that children desire from their parents. Would make an excellent read aloud for a parent and child.

I loved this book! My 5th grader chose this book for a school project and I read along too. I enjoyed the three main characters, William, Edmund, and Anna, and reading about their journey to find their forever family. A couple of the chapters towards the end had me tearing up about their story/journey and thinking about the journey of other children during WWII who were sent away.
The cover is so cute and beautifully done as well. I'm glad to have added this book to my shelves. It would definitely be a reread for me - maybe around Christmas. And, I just checked the author's website and saw she has a new book coming about in September and I look forward to reading it too.
