Evie's War

Bestselling author Holly Webb returns with a moving story of
love, loss and learning to grow up.



In the seaside town of Whitby,
when the United Kingdom is
on the cusp of World War One, Evie and
her family are touched by tragedy when
Evie's younger brother Alexander dies
unexpectedly.


As Evie's mother and father struggle
in their own ways to come to terms with their loss, Evie's
older brother David distracts
himself with the ever-growing threat of war and
Evie and her sister Kitty find
ways to keep their spirits up.


But when the threat of war turns into reality and
David enlists
in the army, Evie's mother is truly heartbroken.
And as the family does their best to contribute
to the war effort, they also struggle
with the sacrifices each of them are forced to make.








Based on the real-life bombing of Whitby in 1914,
this beautiful, powerful and important read by Holly
Webb is devastating but also wonderfully
uplifting.
