Set in the backdrop of 1940, The Blitz Kids is the story of four young children, Boss, Brains, Muncher and Pip who are holding on to their dear freedom to play, despite the bombings wreaking havoc over Britain. Little did they know that their lives will turn upside down, and they will be on a run for their lives before the year's end. Although just like any good story, it infuses some sombre moments, but joy and happiness remain an integral part of the story. The story is surely not to be missed. Grab your copy here.
