My Secret War Diary, by Flossie Albright
By Marcia Williams
A fascinating diary account of the Second World War, as seen through the eyes of a young girl.
Flossie is just nine years old when, in 1939, Britain declares war on Germany and her father leaves the family home to join the army. Flossie is left to bring up her baby brother and to face a whole host of new experiences on her own. Her diary becomes an outlet for relaying all the news from at home and abroad. But her own special blend of courage, humour and fighting spirit see her through to the Armistice, when she can welcome her Dad home at last.
- Companion title to "Archie's War", the scrapbook of a boy in the First World War.
