Really wanted to love this but thought the ending was disappointing.
i recomend
This story is about a 10-year old girl called Shirley who gets evacuated to another country. She really misses her mum and dad but when the war is over they might be together again.
It was such a good book, I even read it in the bath!
I think It needs a bit more detail
Loved the book.
OMG!I Loved This Book! 10000/5! Had Me Reading!
Love this book.
The story was fiction. The main character was Shirley and she was really nice to people and brave.
I think everyone should read this story
I love the tragedy of this story it is by my favourite author
I like how it's to do with history.
I thought that it was eneternaining because it was about evacuees from the World War and im very interested on that topic. Also, Jacqueline Wilson is a fantastic writer. My favourite character was probably the main character, Shirley because she was loyal, brave an kind.
it was a bit sad at pionts
This book is very interesting. It’s a fiction book all about war of Germany 🇩🇪 VS England.I love Chubby,their new nanny when the are evacuated to the country for safety.Shirley(the girl who has been evacuated) is not really excited. But to her surprise, she and her ‘friend’ run away to London and meet their parents.
soo emotional.
I thought this was a fantastic book and really showed the kindness and friendship the world had. My favourite character was Shirley because no matter what happened to her she always stood up for who & what she believed in.
As we have previous learned about the World Wars and the affects that it had on everyday people, this particular perspective of these young children evacuated into these temporary family interested me, especially the thoughts of the main character,including wanting to know about her family; wanting to understand the strange, mysterious owner that had welcomed them into her home, and wanting to explore the small village and try her best to fit in her "new world."
This is a fictional book based in the second world War. The main character who's name name is Shirley has to be evacuated from the busy city in London to a small village in the countryside, she moves in with to women called Mrs waverly and her assistant , chubby. Shirley had two boys living with her who's names were Archie and Kevin , read as they embark on journeys and adventures. Perfect for fans of hetty feather
It was very boring in some parts. It could’ve been improved by making it a little easier to understand the writing. It is about a girl who is evacuated by the war and separated from her mother. It gets quite sad and some parts. I would recommend this book for history lovers.
made me feel sad and then happy so interesting
good, funny and intruiging
There was a girl who was evacuated because of the war and went to live with two women along with two other evacuees. This book was fiction and I would reccomend it to someone else. I liked Shirley the best.
Nice
I think that Shirley is really brave to be going to an almost abandoned house with hardly anthing to sleep on. I was stuck in the book when I read the part where she runs back home to her parents with Kevin. I would recommend it to people who enjoy historical fiction.
I loves this book I would recommend it.
I think it was a great story
This has to be one of my favourite books. I love it especially because it is set in the olden days
This book is amazing, It’s set in WW2 which makes this educational as well as interesting
I really enjoyed reading wave me goodbye it is fiction and is based on the world war 2 .My favourite character was Jessica because even though she and Shirley went to different schools she tried her best to keep their friendship and met in town nearly every Saturday. I would definitely recommend this book to other people.
Was brilliant
