February 1941,
Bomb blast ....
A Chance encounter...
Her mother's coat...
This is all Olive can remember from the night her sister Sukie went missing.
Unsafe or live and her brother at evacuated to the Devonshire coast to stay with mysterious lighthouse keeper.
There Oliver must solve the mystery of her own strange coded Nick that seems to like to Suki to Devon to something dark and Impossible dangerous.

My review:

The thing that drew me in was the beautiful cover and the first words, some parts were sad, others tense and a couple so surprising. It is set in the world war about a girl called Olive and her brother Cliff who get evacuated to Devon and their sister Sukie who mysteriously disappeared in a raid. This is definitely one to watch out for and an incoming classic.
