Book Information

A collection of four short stories, each of a different genre- historical, ghost, humour and science fiction. Neil Tonge takes us back to World War II. With Allied forces in headlong retreat, children are being evacuated, but in the confusion one of them gets left behind and has to struggle to make his own way to safety. In Jane Clarke's spooky tale past and present lives become intrinsically entwined in a northern mill town. Michael Cox gives us the story of how Thwacker Thwaites, the school bully, finally gets his comeuppance; whilst in Tony Bradman's story a family flees a polluted Earth to settle on an alien planet.
