Goodnight Mister Tom

by Michelle Magorian

Britain, 1940. As war rages, children are evacuated to the countryside. Eight-year-old Willie Beech, shy and neglected, arrives on the doorstep of Tom Oakley. The gruff-but-kind “Mister Tom” takes him in—and neither could predict the journey ahead or the unbreakable bond they’ll forge.
