[GO] Noel Streatfeild

[Tom & Tash]

I know I should be saving this for the Streatfeild BD but unless I post it 
now, I will forget my reaction, and it would be shame to deprive you all of 
my thoughts...

Just finished it last night, and the reasons I didn't really like are 
twofold:

1. It reminded me too much of "Saplings", possibly my least favourite book 
of all time.

2. Like Saplings, it was probably written primarily to show people how bad 
war is for children. It seems to formulaic. Evacuation? Check. Being caught 
in an air-raid? Check. Rationing? Check. Etc.
