I loved this book the two narrators gave a different insight into being a prisoner of war in China during Japan's occupation. Miss Kent is an example of a different sort of war hero. It was heartfelt and felt as if this little school was a family sticking together through the thick of it. The way they stood up for each other and took matters into their own hands at time for each other made me cry.
