Description
The Bird in the Bamboo Cage is a moving and authentic novel inspired by true events. When Japan's declaration of war on the Allies changes Elspeth Kent's life forever, the comfort and security of her teaching job are replaced by rationing, uncertainty and fear.
As the school is taken over by soldiers, ten-year-old Nancy Plummer and her classmates must turn to their teachers for help. But when they are sent to a distant internment camp, unimaginable hardship, impossible choices and danger lie ahead. This is a story of the life-changing bonds formed between a young girl and her teacher, in a remote corner of a terrible war.
A heart-wrenching tale of courage, determination and unity, The Bird in the Bamboo Cage is a powerful and unforgettable story of the human spirit.
