Now featuring gorgeous new cover art, this classic, powerfully
emotional, award-winning novel is the perfect read to commemorate the 75th
anniversary of the end of World War II.
London is poised on the brink of World War II.
Eight-year-old Willie Beech is evacuated to the English countryside and lands
on Thomas Oakley's doorstep, timid and scarred from abuse. Mr. Tom, a gruff but
kindly old man, is deeply moved for the boy, treating him with a gentleness
he's forgotten he's even capable of. With Mr. Tom's help, Willie leaves behind his
hateful past and learns to love a world he never knew existed, a world of
friendship and affection and joy. But then a telegram comes, and Willie is ordered to return
to London. When weeks pass without word from him, Mr. Tom sets out for London
to once again rescue the boy he's come to love as a son.
This heartwarming and much-honored classic is an excellent choice for independent or shared reading.
