1939. All over Britain children are being evacuated, & Eve Armstrong is headed for Devon.
As the train pulls out of London she takes a last look at the crowded platform, the shabbily dressed evacuees, & a rude little boy sticking his tongue out. She’s looking forward to a change of scene.
And at first Eve is happier than ever at Drake’s Farm. Not even her daily chores dampen her spirits. It’s a different world that invites fresh starts, & so when Eve runs into the boy from the station, Johnny Durrell, they call a truce & soon become firm friends.
The war might be a distant reality, but the arrival of new evacuee Connie Hale makes every day a battle. Connie is lazy, stuck up & spiteful – & Johnny’s new best friend. As the conflict grows & Eve with it, will she fight for Johnny or concede defeat?
