Bombs on Aunt Dainty

Partly autobiographical, this is the second title in Judith Kerr's internationally acclaimed trilogy of books following the life of Anna through war-torn Germany, to London during the Blitz and her return to Berlin to discover the past...

It is hard enough being a teenager in London during the Blitz, finding yourself in love and wondering every night whether you will survive the bombs. But it is even harder for Anna, who is still officially classified as an "enemy alien". Those bombs are coming from Germany - the country that was once her own. If Hitler invades, can she and her beloved refugee family possibly survive?

This was previously published as The Other Way Round.

As a Sunday Times bestselling author, Judith Kerr masterfully weaves a tale of immigration and emigration, capturing the essence of a historical period through the eyes of a juvenile. The bestselling book delves into social and fiction themes, making it a classic in children's literature.

For fans of Eric Carle (Ladybird Readers Beginner Level), Rod Campbell (Oh Dear!), Axel Scheffler (Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes), Eric Hill (Where's Spot?), and Jim Field (The Christmas Pig).
