What is Blitzed about?

George loves everything about the Second World War—bombers, Nazis and doodlebugs. But during a school visit to a war museum, he is swept back in time to London during the Blitz. Trapped in 1940, he joins a group of children living rough and learns that survival means finding food, shelter and courage while bombs fall around them. When the children begin to suspect that one of their friends is secretly working for the Germans, George faces a dangerous mystery that could cost lives.
