Room for a Stranger by Ann Turnbull

Room for a Stranger by Ann Turnbull

A new arrival quickly becomes a rival, with potentially tragic consequences, in this evocative wartime novel. When her older sisters leave home, Doreen gets a room of her own – at last! But it’s 1941, the cities are threatened by Nazi air raids and, to Doreen's dismay, Mum has decided to take in an evacuee. Rhoda Kelly is a year older than Doreen, has a boyfriend in the Army and, worse still, is a talented singer. Forced to share a room – and the limelight – tensions grow between the two girls, erupting finally into bitter conflict … with potentially tragic consequences.

"The sharply drawn wartime poverty will thrill readers of nine and up" (The Times) "A lovely book for ten year olds plus." (The Sunday Telegraph)"
