This is a lovely short book that follows 15 year old Jewish Brigitta who is from Austria and is escorted from Europe along with other child refugees to England by the Red Cross after world War Two. We hear of all the horrors that poor Brigitta has had to face during the war which is really sad. Once Brigitta arrives in England, her aim is to get to Summerland to find the answers she has been looking for.
The book is beautifully written, easy to read and thought provoking, and the characters were really likeable. I also liked how each chapter of the book was named after food especially as it was a time where food was really important with the food being included in the chapters.
Overall, this was a short but easy read which I enjoyed.
