Description
Set against the backdrop of World War II, Blue Watch tells the story of 15-year-old Jack Riley's experiences as he navigates life in wartime London.
Evacuated from the city to escape the Blitz, Jack returns to London and joins his father, an auxiliary fireman with 'Blue Watch', working as a bicycle messenger for the fire service. This gripping novel brings to life the sights, sounds, and dangers of war-torn London through Jack's eyes.
With its vivid portrayal of life in wartime Britain, Blue Watch is a compelling and authentic historical fiction story that explores the challenges and hardships faced by those on the home front during one of the most tumultuous periods in British history.
