Book Description

The invasion intensifies.

Intrusion, young Billy's predictable life was ripped open as much by the introduction of his frail but manipulative cousin, Kenneth, as by the threat of war. Only the image of the secretly seen Cossack sabre boosted Billy's spirits and imaginary power.

Now it's autumn 1940. Relentless London bombing forces Billy's family into evacuation. Kenneth goes with his mother, and nearby to Billy's while Billy must settle with a new foster family. Just as his life seems happier, a family catastrophe causes a new threat from Kenneth, one that will affect both their futures.
