Description
As Britain declares war on Nazi Germany in September 1939, one young boy's life is about to change forever. Tim waves goodbye to his city home as he boards the 'Coronation Scot' train, bound for a new life in Shropshire. Arriving at his destination, Tim must adapt to a rural way of life, leaving behind the back alleys and streets of Liverpool for the country lanes and farmland of his new surroundings. But with the war effort underway, Tim soon finds himself facing challenges of his own - from a strict headmistress who doesn't approve of city boys at her school to unfriendly locals who view him as an outsider. Despite these obstacles, Tim proves to be a resourceful and determined young boy, much like his nation. With his street smarts and spirit, he sets out to survive in this new environment and make the most of his time away from home.
