«Fireweed» is Jill Paton Walsh's historical novel for young adults, published by Hot Key Books in paperback (208 pages, in English).
In 1940s London, Bill, a fifteen-year-old boy who has escaped evacuation, lives on his own and discovers that getting by on the streets is easier than expected. The arrival of Julie, another runaway, changes everything: together they spend nights in shelters and bombed-out houses while planes fly over the city, and soon they realize that war is not a game.
This 2013 edition includes a foreword by Lucy Mangan.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12, especially those drawn to World War II and survival stories.
