Wave Me Goodbye — Jacqueline Wilson

Wave Me Goodbye

Jacqueline Wilson | Illustrated by Nick Sharratt | Hardback

Can one evacuee find somewhere to belong?

It's wartime, and Shirley has been sent away from London as an evacuee. She writes home to her Mum:

"Dear Mum, I've already been here so long that my red patent shoes don't fit me any more. But I'm still not used to waking up and hearing the birds outside my window instead of the London traffic. This is such a strange old house, with a huge, wild garden. There's a brilliant library — Mrs Waverley loves books almost as much as I do. There's even a mysterious locked room. Maybe it's hiding a secret? But I don't like the boys I'm stuck with here. I miss you and Dad. When will the war be over so we can be together again? Love Shirley X"

A moving and beautifully told story of wartime childhood, belonging, and the power of books — from the bestselling, award-winning author of Double Act and The Suitcase Kid.
