The war is exciting to him: the night-time dogfights, hunting bombed houses for trophies and sitting in the air raid shelter.

His uncles and aunts talk about the Germans and the Jews, but they don't seem real to him.

Then Frank is evacuated to the boring country were he lives with a strange Jewish girl called Hannah from Germany..."Hannah": Hannah is a young Jewish girl living in Berlin.

Thrown together with Frank, she clings to playing her beloved violin and wonders what is happening at home.

Can she ever become friends with this strange English boy?
