Billy thought growing up in wartime was fun: the fiery skies, exploding factories, the noise of the blitz, playing among the rubble of the bombed houses. Then a bomb fell on the shelter where Billy and his mother were taking refuge. Billy woke up in hospital, horribly burned and longing for death, until a precious gift from a soldier who was also disfigured gave him hope and a reason to go on living. For age 12+. This book is intended for interest age: 12+
