Summary

'Fantastic, I loved every page. I cried, laughed and smiled with the characters. A must-read book' FIVE STAR Reader Review on The Evacuee Series 
* * * * *Far from home, hope will keep them together. 
In September 1940, after a year away from home, eleven-year-old twins Connie and Jessie have finally settled into evacuee life in Harrogate. But when the brutal bombings in London begin, threatening their parents who live near the Bermondsey docks, their courage is put to the test. 
Aunt Peggy keeps a watchful eye on the spirited twins but doesn’t know all their troubles as they start secondary school. She must raise baby Holly, while searching for the strength to divorce her cheating husband, who may have just ruined her only chance to love again. 
Full of hope and courage, The Evacuee War is the third in the heart-warming saga series set during the Second World War from Katie King.

'Heartwarming. I didn't want the book to end' FIVE STAR Reader Review  
‘A heart-warming read’ My Weekly  
'This delightful read captures a sense of nostalgia and weaves together the dramas of a cast of heart-warming characters’ Woman 
The Evacuee War, a top historical fiction, continues to weave the tale of family sagas set against the backdrop of military strife. Katie King, the best in her genre, brings to life the trials and tribulations of the twins, their resilience in the face of adversity, and the unyielding hope that binds them together. 
For fans of Rosie Hendry (Digging for Victory at Rookery House), Daisy Styles (The Factory Girls), Fenella J Miller (Trouble Comes to Harbour House), Vicki Beeby (Courage for the Flying Nightingales), and Elaine Everest (The Patchwork Girls).
