With World War Two raging all around, young children are being sent from their homes in the city to the countryside for safety.

Brought up in terrible poverty, Willie is terribly shy, and totally unprepared for village life - but the gruff-but-gentle 'Mister Tom' quickly takes him under his wing. Neither he nor Willie could ever have predicted the journey they will go on together - nor the unbreakable bond that will be formed.

After attending the Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance and Marcel Marceau's L'Ecole Internationale de Mime in Paris, she wrote between acting jobs and on Sundays when rehearsing and performing musicals and plays six days and six nights a week (as Mikki Magorian). In her twenties she became interested in children's books and began writing Goodnight Mister Tom - a winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and the International Reading Association Award. The musical version (composer Gary Carpenter) was a winner at the 1992 Quest Fest for New Musicals at Buxton Opera House. It has been adapted for television by Brian Finch and as a play by David Wood, broadcast as a radio series in Sweden and Norway, and been optioned by Gaumont for television. Michelle has written the book and lyrics for three more musicals and eight other novels, including award-winning Back Home and Just Henry, which won the Costa Award. She has recorded Back Home and A Little Love Song on Audible. Other audiobooks include Just Henry, read by the actor Richard Mitchley; and Goodnight Mister Tom, read by Christopher Saul for the RNIB (full version), and an abridged version read by Patrick Malahide.

First published over sixty years ago, Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl has reached millions of young people throughout the world. In July 1942, thirteen-year-old Anne Frank and her family, fleeing the occupation, went into hiding in an Amsterdam warehouse. Over the next two years Anne vividly describes in her diary the frustrations of living in such close quarters, and her thoughts, feelings and longings as she grows up. Her diary ends abruptly when, in August 1944, they were all betrayed. Since its publication in 1947, The Diary of a Young Girl has been read by tens of millions of people, now reissued with a revised Foreword, Afterword, Chronology and Glossary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReviews\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnne Frank (Author)   Anne Frank was born on 12 June 1929.

The choice (which was not a choice at all) was to send\u003cbr\u003etheir children on the socalled Kindertransports, trains that carried infants to\u003cbr\u003eseventeenyearolds to safe havens in Great Britain. Ten thousand Jewish children\u003cbr\u003ewere fostered out or placed in hostels throughout the British Isles, including\u003cbr\u003esome sent to a working farm in Northern Ireland. There is an intriguing story\u003cbr\u003ein this situation, Jewish children finding safe haven in the unlikely oasis of\u003cbr\u003eProtestant Ireland. Karl and his little sister, Rosa, are two of the children\u003cbr\u003ewho are separated in their new country. Rosa, adorable and young enough to be\u003cbr\u003eappealing, is quickly taken in by a wealthy family who showers her with\u003cbr\u003ematerial things, but cannot deal with her homesickness. Karl is sent to a\u003cbr\u003eworking farm, and it is his adjustment to a new country, culture and language\u003cbr\u003ewith which readers will more easily identify. Karl carries the additional\u003cbr\u003eburden of being old enough to feel responsibility and guilt for the family he\u003cbr\u003eleft behind in Austria. It is this 'survivor's guilt' which is the most\u003cbr\u003ecaptivating part of Karl's character. There are, however, some problems with\u003cbr\u003ethe book. In an effort to acquaint the reader with the progression of events\u003cbr\u003ethat led to the Nazi's ascension to power, Taylor resorts to cramming history\u003cbr\u003elessons into the character's casual conversation. It is not an appealing form\u003cbr\u003eof exposition. Also, the character of Judy, Karl's Irish Jewish girlfriend, is\u003cbr\u003ea stereotyped princess who evolves, rather unbelievably, into a good sport and\u003cbr\u003eadept farmhandin just a chapter or two. Another problem is the cover art which\u003cbr\u003eshows two children who appear, at most, to be age ten. These youngsters\u003cbr\u003ecouldn't possibly be the emotionally involved adolescents Taylor describes in\u003cbr\u003eher story. Despite these flaws, this is a new chapter of history to be added to\u003cbr\u003eWorld War II study guides, one where the question might be posed, 'What if this\u003cbr\u003ehappened to you?' 1999, O'Brien Press, Ages 10 to 14, $7.95.

Faithful to the details and events of the time,\u003cbr\u003eTaylor is less successful in rendering fiction from her facts; there is a\u003cbr\u003epaucity of character development and the plot plows along without thematic\u003cbr\u003etensions explored or motifs expanding it from story line to story. She does\u003cbr\u003eprovide an accessible version of the dynamic issues faced both by a refugee\u003cbr\u003eteen and by an Irish teen. Karl, a thirteen-year-old from an assimilated\u003cbr\u003emiddle-class Viennese family, arrives aboard one of the war's last\u003cbr\u003eKindertransports in charge of his seven-year-old sister Rosa. He has already\u003cbr\u003ewitnessed the breaking of his once-vibrant uncle at the hands of the Nazis and\u003cbr\u003eknows that his parents are in grave danger. In Ireland, he is among a large\u003cbr\u003egroup of older refugee children placed on a working farm while Rosa is to be\u003cbr\u003efostered by a childless couple. Judy, an Irish-Jewish girl from Dublin, is sent\u003cbr\u003eto the farm while her older sister recuperates from tuberculosis. Judy and Karl\u003cbr\u003evary in their experiences with and understanding of the war, of course, but\u003cbr\u003etheir personalities, too, are considerably different. Taylor doesn't develop\u003cbr\u003ethe viewpoints of these two main characters so much as she reports on their\u003cbr\u003eactions across time, with minimal reference to their perceptions of each\u003cbr\u003eother's apparent changes. A lot happens to and through these characters: Karl\u003cbr\u003eprotects Rosa from the probable reality of their family's demise, Judy becomes\u003cbr\u003eless self-centered, and together they befriend an Irish Catholic family that\u003cbr\u003ehas no awareness of what being Jewishmeans (understanding only that one is\u003cbr\u003eeither Protestant or Catholic), and so on.

Every time she lands in a new school, she is able to hide her inability to read by creating clever yet disruptive distractions. She is afraid to ask for help; after all, how can you cure dumb? However, her newest teacher Mr. Daniels sees the bright, creative kid underneath the trouble maker. With his help, Ally learns not to be so hard on herself and that dyslexia is nothing to be ashamed of. As her confidence grows, Ally feels free to be herself and the world starts opening up with possibilities. She discovers that there's a lot more to her-and to everyone-than a label, and that great minds don't always think alike.

When Carrie and Nick visit Albert, another evacuee, they are welcomed into Hepzibah Green's warm kitchen. Hepzibah is rumoured to be a witch, but her cooking is delicious, her stories are enthralling and the children cannot keep away.
