Reviews of Charlie, the Evacuee

"I really enjoyed it!"

Seb, aged 9

"Two thumbs up!"

Olli, aged 12

"A great read from cover to cover. The characters are likeable and believable, and the time travel aspect - which could have been quite cheesy - is handled really cleverly and is very well done. Think this will appeal to a wider range of people and ages than the advertised age of upper primary school children."

Hannah, aged 36

"A fascinating tale of the 1940s and how Charlie aged 11 is evacuated from London to Devon. We follow him and his adventures with his new friends and family. The author has clearly researched the period well as you feel you are really there alongside Charlie. At the end of this delightful story you are left wondering if there might be a sequel which would be welcome."

Simon, aged 78
