What is Evacuee A Real-life World War II Story about?

When war reaches London, Jan Pollard is sent away from home to safety in the countryside. This true story follows her frightening journey from the Blitz to an unfamiliar village, where she must adjust to a new family, new routines and a very different way of life. Through air-raid warnings, gas-mask drills, food rationing and homesickness, Jan discovers both the hardships and unexpected kindness of being an evacuee during the Second World War.
