Letters from the Lighthouse: ‘THE QUEEN OF HISTORICAL FICTION’ Guardian: 1

Product Information

Let me start by saying that I have adored every book written by Emma Carroll, but this is my new favourite. I also found the book very realistic because it is set in World War II and this book has made me hungry for more information. She discovers that secret meetings are taking place at night in an old boathouse and that the harbor has been taken over by a group of strangers.

Letters from the Lighthouse will appeal to readers of all dispositions, as Carroll ensures the historical elements never overwhelm the story, which is as accessible as anything set in modern times.A mysterious note found in the coat of her sister suggests that Sukie was involved in something dangerous, but Olive can't make the pieces fit together. To try and be helpful she becomes a postman and starts sending secret messages to her sister Suki who was lost in an air raid, but she finds a code which she is convinced relates to her but how far will she go for her sister?

I would definitely recommend this for UKS2 to really get to the heart of some really challenging and emotive issues. This was an easy read set in World War II, with the book being for young adults, but it is beautifully written. She let Esther stay at her house because she was sympathetic towards this child who had been through some very difficult experiences. There, Olive will learn some of the most important lessons of her life, including just how much she is capable of.Here you will find all the best books of the year, the latest award-winning books, and generally all the books that you must read in your life. I enjoyed this book because there were a lot of mysterious things happening and at some points I didn't want to put the book down. We were the going to be beaten by hate" is a message that transcends the period setting, speaking straight to a contemporary audience. Emma Caroll ne poartă pașii până în anul 1941, când Londra pare a fi în flăcări, căci nemții aruncă peste ea bombe peste bombe.
