The cover of this book is well illustrated and has a famous five feel about.
I like the historical content within the story and learnt something new from it.
I found the story to be very slow paced.
The story is set during wartime and the plot revolves around the National gallery and the hiding of art works.
The works were hidden in a quarry in Wales and every one who knows this must sign the official secrets act.
Ned and his mother are involved with this and must keep it secret.However in a small village in Wales there is a whistle blower.
The story covers the treatment of all foreigners, but especially that of the refugee Jewish community, is highlighted by ten-year-old Anni, a refugee staying at the same house as Ned and his mother.
We are introduced to Mrs Thomas and her guide dog Kip.
There are notes at the back of the book to give more information on the factual elements of the story.
