Description
I Go by Sea, I Go by Land is an account of life during wartime from the perspective of an eleven-year-old girl. In 1939, with war looming, she and her brother are evacuated to America.
The story begins on a quiet morning at home, where the family is trying to come to terms with the possibility of war. Suddenly, the sound of a German plane fills the air, followed by five loud explosions. The girl's father makes a decision that will change their lives forever.
This diary chronicles their journey across the sea and their new life in America, written from the perspective of an eleven-year-old girl trying to make sense of her world during wartime.
