This was an excellent read. I really couldn't recommend it highly enough.
I loved Nancy, Miss Kent and Co. They were wonderful characters and the courage, bravery, strength and resilience shown by them was something to be greatly admired, especially considering the terrifying and dangerous situation they'd found themselves caught up in.
I hadn't been aware of Chefoo School and how the students from there had been sent to an Internment Camp, so that was pretty enlightening.
Thank you to PH and Hazel for the chance to read this book.
Interesting point of view based on true events from teacher and young student of a British run missionary school in China which is taken over by the Japanese during WW2. Really felt a connection with the characters and felt so sad when Sprout passed away!
