WAVE ME GOODBYE, Jacqueline Wilson, Isbn 97808575153 (RANDOM HOUSE) BD6.400 for Gulf Weekly Book Club members
September, 1939. As the Second World War begins, 10-year-old Shirley is sent away on a train with her schoolmates. She doesn’t know where she’s going, or what’s going to happen to her when she gets there. All she has been told is that she’s going on ‘a little holiday’.
Shirley is billeted in the country, with two boys from East End London, Kevin and Archie – and their experiences living in the strange, half-empty Red House, with the mysterious and reclusive Mrs Waverley, will change their lives forever.
Award-winning, bestselling and beloved author Jacqueline Wilson turns to this period of history for the first time, in this beautiful story of friendship and bravery. It is a fascinating, moving story of a girl sent away from home as an evacuee during the Second World War set against the backdrop of the worst conflict the world has ever known.
