Description
When the Siren Wailed is a heart-wrenching and thrilling adventure story about three children evacuated to the countryside during World War Two. In September 1939, Laura, Andy, and Tim Clark leave their cramped London home to live with a kind but gruff guardian in Dorset. However, their stay is short-lived as they face a terrible turn of events that forces them to move on. The children soon discover they are to live with Miss Justworthy, a woman with a reputation for feeding her evacuees on cat food. Determined to escape, Andy convinces his sister and brother to run away back to London and their mother. But when they return, they find their city transformed by war, with craters and ruined buildings everywhere. As they try to find their mother in the midst of an air raid, the children must confront the harsh realities of war and the kindness of strangers.
