'This is McKay at her finest, all the heart and warmth of the Casson family books - with a touch of the Cazalets. It's both a thrilling family adventure and a truthful, heart-breaking examination of the impact of war ... [an] exceptional historical novel.' -- The Bookseller 'Winning as ever, with an overall Secret Garden feel.' -- Kirkus Reviews
