Blitzed

George is fascinated by World War Two. Bombers, Nazis, doodlebugs. But he discovers the reality is very different from how he had imagined it when a school trip to a World War Two museum leads to a timeslip - and George is in London at the time of the Blitz! He joins up with a group of other homeless children, struggling to survive. And then they suspect someone they know of being a German spy...

Reviews

Grips the reader from the opening paragraph

—— The Sunday Times

Robert Swindells writes the kind of books that are so scary you're afraid to turn the page

—— Young Telegraph

Classic war fiction which will stick in you mind forever

—— Ben Howie , Newcastle Upon Tyne Evening Chronicle

With real villainy and real right and wrong issues but told in convincingly involving, over the top manner

—— The School Librarian

Flush is pacy and amusing. It will entertain readers with a sense of justice, a concern for the environment and an understanding that the simplest and whackiest ideas are often the best

—— Writeaway!

A compelling, compulsive, atmospheric story . . . The movie is already rolling in my head

—— Niall MacMonagle , Irish Times

Zips along at break-neck pace, each short, action-packed scene feeding into the next, ideal for teen readers with Playstation attention spans . . . McGann's direct, gritty style of writing certainly packs a punch

—— Sarah Webb , Irish Independent
