(3) 4-6 Brothers Charles, fourteen, and Wesley, ten, are evacuated from London's 1943 Blitz and sent to live with a Virginian family. Adjusting to an American lifestyle and reconciling their misperceptions about it is stressful enough, but then they learn of Germans in a nearby POW camp. Evocative setting details and deft character portrayals make this a well-defined historical story. Includes an informative afterword.
