War is hard enough when your dad is missing in action, and even harder when you have to leave
everything you know and love. It is Christmas 1943 and twelve-year-old Harry is one of three thousand people forced to leave the coast in Devon, as US troops move into the area, planning secret D-Day rehearsals on Slapton Sands.
But what if Harry leaves his most treasured possession behind? What if he goes back? What if he is on that beach at the worst possible moment?

I couldn’t put it down…it’s superb on so many levels… A wonderful book
Michelle Magorian Author of Goodnight Mister Tom

Eighteen, it’s a dangerous age, when you have to cut your way into life.
Mirrors, a piano. Erotic reflections, practice, ritual. To stalk in pursuit of an image. Not an ordinary career, more a magnificent obsession. And Elaine, possessed by ambition, sees everything she craves in the exquisite Beverley Soames – success and more… There’s no threat in that, surely?
Watching, imitating, borrowing. To stalk in pursuit of an image. There’s no threat in that, is there?
