(2) 4-6 It's 1940, and ten-year-old Lindy, along with her mother and boy cousin, is evacuated from London to the safety of the Canadian prairies. Banks herself was sent to Canada as a child during WWII; this memoir-like novel mines the war-evacuation material to reflect a child's cultural confusion, loneliness, and anxiety but also includes a more adult take on the experience of that relocation.
