A cold numbness had settled upon me the moment Mr Chamberlain had begun to speak. I’d been praying for a last-minute miracle. For Stalin to change his mind, for the Americans to intervene, for Hitler to fall under a train . . . anything. Now I understood how stupid I’d been. Sophie FitzOsborne and the royal family of Montmaray escaped their remote island home when the Nazis attacked. But now that war has come to England and the rest of the world as well, nowhere is safe. Sophie fills her journal with tales of a life in wartime. Stories of blackouts and the Blitz. Dancing in nightclubs with soldiers on leave. And desperately waiting for news of her brother Toby, last seen flying over enemy territory. But even as bombs rain down on London, hope springs up in surprising places, and love blooms. And when the Allies begin to drive their way across Europe, the FitzOsbornes take heart. Maybe, just maybe, there will be a way to liberate Montmaray – to go home again at last. Sometimes heart-stopping, sometimes heart-breaking, Sophie’s story will, as always, capture readers’ hearts. Views: 113

Philip Murdstone has won all the prizes as a Young Adult novelist but his sales are miniscule and he loathes himself. Does he suffer a nervous breakdown or does he get drunk at his local Devon pub, accidentally fall sleep in a stone circle and summon Pocket, a fantasy character who dictates 'inkage' which proves to be a world bestseller fantasy material... BEWARE this novel contains foul language and foul thoughts. If it was a film (which it will be) it would bear an 18 certificate. Also you might die laughing. On the other hand it is intensely dramatic and exciting and contains some of the most sweetly crafted sentences you will ever read in English. The impulse to write this might have started out bitter but Peet has turned in a masterpiece. Views: 113
