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.

She meant to bestow a gift" pages: 238 published: January 1st 1997 authors website: http://www.gailcarsonlevine.com/books.html rating: 11+ Ella can not wait to be free of  lucinda's awful gift and finely be herself, but its intro that easy as she knows at an moment anyone can order her to Hop on one foot, betray her friend, marry a prince.... MY REVIEW: I decided to read this because I had watched the film. At first I loved the film but then I read the book and realised the film was terrible compared to the book.
