Charlie never meant to travel back in time–but now he's trapped in wartime Devon.
Living with a strict farming family, waking before dawn, and trying not to get pecked by broody hens is only the beginning. As air raids, rationing and hard farm work become part of everyday life, Charlie must rely on new friendships and a mysterious family diary to uncover the truth about his great-grandad's past–and find a way home.
Charlie, the Evacuee is a heartwarming timeslip adventure that brings the Second World War vividly to life through the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy. Rich in historical detail and unforgettable characters, it explores resilience, belonging, family history and the quiet heroism of ordinary people.
Perfect for children aged 9+, families, and adults who enjoy historical fiction, it's also an ideal companion for KS2 topics including World War Two, evacuation and life on the Home Front.
