What is Toms Private War about?

As war approaches, Tom and his gang are determined to defend their territory. But when evacuees arrive from the city, Scouser’s arrival upsets the balance and turns old friendships into fierce rivalries. While air-raid sirens sound and bombs fall, Tom’s private battle grows more dangerous. Soon, the children find themselves trapped in a disused mineshaft far beneath the ground, where courage, loyalty and quick thinking will be needed to survive.
