  • ""She gazed across at a hedgerow that waded in milky pools of Jack-by-the-hedge and campion whose green recesses were alive with twittering birdsong and felt abysmally unhappy. She could see the line of German prisoners still hoeing in the corn and she hated them. The War was their fault. Everyone said so. And it just went on and on and made everything so miserable! Because of it her dad had been fighting in France for three whole years, leaving Elvira to make the best of things with her stepmother and little Arthur. And it wasn't much of a 'best', Elvira thought bitterly. It was the War too that had taken their headmistress, Miss Allison, off to work in a munitions factory in far-away Gretna, and had brought the beastly Mr Christmas and his obnoxious sneak of a grand-daughter to Frissington St Peter. Elvira missed her headmistress almost as mush as she missed her dad"--Back cover."
  • "During the summer of 1918, with her father fighting in Germany and her stepmother perpetually irritable and critical, twelve-year-old Elvira decides to go live with an orphaned friend in an abandoned house and wait out the war."
