Nika –
This book is great, I don’t know where to start! This middle grade mystery, is a story about Jimmy and his little brother Ronnie, who get evacuated from London to Wles during WWII. Not only does Jimmy face a whole different way of life, he also finds out some hard truths about his friends and makes some great new ones along the way. However the real adventure starts when he finds a skull hidden in a tree trunk and wants to find out whose it is. The answer to that was really unexpected and heartbreaking. The characters in the book were so believeable and the setting beautiful. I loved it.
