I'm not sure what happened but I almost feel as if this part of the book is rushed. We've gone from a feud with Esther to finding out some secret mission. In the classroom with children, I think this part of the book will need to be dissected and analysed well in order to encourage full understanding of the plot.

Adore how Carroll is filtering in historical references. There is factual knowledge in what she is making Olive think. Its fascinating though because it's written from a chikds perspective so makes us think how children during the time would actually be feeling.

Also great for primary school children to empathise and envision what it would have been like to live during the war.
