Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Pack your bags and grab your gas mask - you're heading to the countryside!

War has been declared in Britain and as a young girl living in London, the government are sending you to live with a family far away from the chaos that's ensuing in the city. Prepare to enter a new world of rationed supplies, hard chores and some unfriendly locals - you really wouldn't want to be a Second World War evacuee!

The ever-popular You Wouldn't Want to Be series transports readers to some of the grisliest times and places in history, perfect for reluctant readers! The humorous, first-person narrative approach places children directly in the shoes of some of history's most unfortunate people ever to have lived, great for engaging students with the history curriculum and encouraging further non-fiction reading.
