Summary

"Two British brothers adjust to life in Virginia after escaping the Blitz during World War II"--, Provided by publisherTo escape the terror of the Blitz, ten-year-old Wesley and fourteen-year-old Charles were evacuated from England to America. The culture shock is intense as the London boys adjust to rural farm life in Virginia and have to learn new sports, customs, and spellings, plus contend with racial segregation and bullying. Just when Wes and Charles think they are safe from the terror of the battles raging thousands of miles across the sea, they encounter the very brand of soldiers they were trying to escape: Nazis, from a POW camp right around the corner, and U-boats torpedoing American ships off the nearby Atlantic coastline. The foreign war is coming too close to home
