Description:

During the Second World War, twelve-year-old Carrie and her little brother Nick are sent away from London to a small mining town in Wales. They live with strict, grumpy Mr Evans and his gentle sister, Auntie Lou. Their happiest hours are spent at Druid's Bottom, a warm farmhouse where kind Hepzibah tells stories about a spooky old skull. When Carrie does something she believes causes a terrible disaster, she carries the guilt for years. A moving classic about friendship, family, growing up and the choices we make.
