My Secret War Diary, by Flossie Albright

by Marcia Williams

In 1939, nine-year-old Flossie’s world changes overnight when Britain declares war and her father leaves to join the army. Left to care for her baby brother, Flossie begins recording her experiences in a heartfelt diary.

Through evacuees, air raids, and personal loss, she faces the challenges of wartime with courage, humour, and determination—until the day peace returns and she can finally welcome her father home.
