Summary

 The Second World War has ended, but Henry is fighting his own battles. He misses his father, who died a war hero, and his only distraction is the cinema. But everything is about to change.

When Henry develops an old camera film he uncovers a mystery, and events spiral until his life resembles the drama of the big screen. Like a bomb waiting to explode, Henry's discovery will shatter his world.

A powerful, gripping, and truly epic story that won the Costa Children's Book Award 2008.

I have never listened to an audiobook so quickly, i was listening whenever I had a chance as I could hardly put this book down! I loved the story, the characters and the post war setting. The narration was very well done too.

This book not in the same league as "Goodnight Mr Tom" ... and it is a slow read at the start.

However, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, set just after WW2. The characterisation is superb, with an interesting plot, and a wonderful insight into 1950's Britain.

Thoroughly enjoyed this Michelle Magorian novel
