When The Siren Wailed –
Noel Streatfeild
First Published: 1974Suddenly there were no secrets anymore. Everyone knew there was going to be a war, which meant that all children in danger areas like London were to be sent to the country. There on Friday 1st September 1939, it happened. As war was about to be declared, Laura, Andy and Tim Clark with their name and address pinned to them, joined the straggling procession of evacuees to the station. Operation Pied Piper was under way.
This is a great World War 2 book for children. I can’t remember when I first read this book
but I believe I was about ten or eleven years old. It was a book that seemed to
be at my house for a long time. It’s one
of my all time favourite Noel Streatfeild books. The story follows Laura, Andy and Tim as
they are sent to the country, and then as they run away from a home they are
not satisfied with and what happens when they reach London again. This is a book I have read countless of times
and a book I hope never becomes forgotten.
