During the Second World War Carrie and her brother are evacuated to South Wales. There they learn the legend of the African slave boy's skull which is in the library - and which will revive an ancient curse if ever removed.

"An amazing read"
A great book for those who want to learn a little more about being evacuated during WWII. I loved the book from the beginning right through to the end. Children would love it.
