Overview

In the quiet cul-de-sac where Keith and Stephen live the only immediate signs of the Second World War are the blackout at night and a single random bomb site. But the two boys start to suspect all is not as it seems when one day Keith announces a disconcerting discovery: the Germans have infiltrated his own family. And when the secret underground world they have dreamed up emerges from the shadows they find themselves engulfed in mysteries far deeper and more painful than they had bargained for. Designed to meet the requirements for students at GCSE and A level, this accessible and comprehensive new educational edition:- includes detailed analyses of character, setting and theme; - examines in detail the novel's plot, structure and narrative techniques; - offers key quotations and activities both for the student working alone and in the classroom.
