Fictional diary account of life in the Second World War, seen through the eyes of a young girl. Companion title to Archie's War. This book also wrapped up way too soon. It felt like Osborne didn't know how to write an ending and just rushed it. This is a critique I've made about other books in the series. I could have done without the epilogue where we find out she marries Johnny. JUST BECAUSE A NARRATOR HAS A LOVE INTEREST IN THE BOOK DOES NOT MEAN THEY NEED TO GET MARRIED. This is one of the most irritating things about the series as a whole. This is going to be our inspiration for next term and I can’t wait to share it with the children. There’s so much going on so we can not be able to cover it all but I hope I do it justice.Some of the delightful elements in ‘My Secret War Diary’ by Marcia Williams Photo Source: Lisa Lacy

Marcia lives in London and has two grown-up children and three grandchildren, one extra-large dog and a cat. And what a story. The story of a young man, a young soldier in the trenches of World War I who, on the spur of the moment, had done what he thought was the right thing. SO cool. It's the journal/scrapbook of a fictional character in WWII England. Glad I finally got to it. Put it on my to read list when it was brand new ... and here it is, what. Two or three years later? You can't get to all of them right away. :X grammatical errors. Flossie appears to be a bright child and well trained at the village school. Although, she might have spoken with grammatical errors, I doubt that "ain't" would have reached her writing.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. From the first evacuees arriving to her sweetheart's being killed in Normandy in 1944, Flossie has to endure much hardship. But her own special blend of courage, humour and fighting spirit sees her through to the Armistice, when she can welcome her dad home at last.

September, 1939. As the Second World War begins, ten-year-old Shirley is sent away on a train with her schoolmates. She doesn’t know where she’s going, or what’s going to happen to her when she gets there. All she has been told is that she’s going on ‘a little holiday’. A small point of criticism is, rain in January. New York does get a fair bit of snow during the winter. So unless it was unreasonably mild, Maddy and her friend should have been walking through snow, not riding their bikes everywhere with a bit of a nippy wind.Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Two young writers have been named the winners of Poppyscotland’s learning competition, My Secret War Diary. - Liam McNamee
