5.0

This book is spectacular. I really didn't think I was going to do a 5 star on it... definitely a 4 but this book has stayed with me. I have found myself thinking about it a ton. If you love World War 2 books this is a refreshing different perspective of a London kid but it adds a whole other layer. It does feel a bit like Bedknobs and Broomsticks at the beginning but I think this is way better. It also does a great job of dealing with/showing child anxiety and PTSD. Absolutely superb, I was sad it was over.
