Out of the Frying Pan

"September 1940. The Blitz has brought the harsh realities of war to the people of London. Houses, factories and railway lines are being bombed nightly by the Luftwaffe, and no family can be confident that their home will survive another night." "Having narrowly escaped a bombing raid on their own street, young Janet and Tommy Phelps are evacuated to the Isle of Wight, to see out the war with their Aunt Betty and irascible Uncle Ted. The children's parents, Kath and Brian, believe the island will be a safe haven away from the perils, dust and havoc of a capital under siege." "The Isle of Wight, however, is no longer a peaceful holiday idyll, but is under a siege of its own, occupied not by the Germans but by the British Army. And Tommy and Janet, far from heading for relative safety, are about to be placed in more danger than ever before."--BOOK JACKET.
