Touched by Angels: An Historical Novel About Three Children Who

On September 1, 1939, England declares war on Germany. Over the next three days masses of children are evacuated from the cities vulnerable to bombings of the Luftwaffe. From the bustling city of London to the quiet, open spaces of the Yorkshire Dales, three children, all ten years old, meet on a train. Their friendship helps them to overcome their fear of a strange place, their loneliness for their families and to adapt to the new life they have been thrown into. This is the story of three friends, each from different backgrounds, and how they lived through the war for five and a half years.
