In the final months of World War II, ten-year-old Peggy shelters with her mother and baby brother in a London butcher's shop during an air raid. They survive, but their home and everything in it are lost, including Peggy's most treasured possession, a biscuit tin of letters from her father. Their lives change dramatically and Peggy makes friends with a boy named Spud who has a passion for scavenging bombsites, leading to more than one surprising discovery.

- "Ten-year-old Peggy lives in London in the dark days at the end of the Second World War with her Mum and brother Tommy. One morning, a Doodlebug (the cheerful nickname for a German rocket bomb) lands on their house, destroying everything except the clothes on their back and Tommy's pram. This includes, (or so it seems) an old biscuit tin that contains letters from her father. With no home, Peggy has to leave the school she knows and loves and move in with her grandfather, who seems grumpy about having them there. Over time, with the help of a boy called Spud, a sausage dinner, a sinking Christmas pudding, writing letters to her father and manifold adventures with the pram, Peggy begins to learn that 'home' is so much more than a house."@en
