There is also a particular focus on writer's craft, in line with the requirements of the new curriculum. The Reading Guide is illustrated and has a magazine-feel to appeal to students. It can be used during the early stages of a Scheme of Work based on the novel, and can also be builtin to lessons as the reading progresses and to support further reading activities.

Join two best friends as history is made in 1941. Teddy and Harriet have been joined at the hip for as long as they can remember - but then the WAR started. Teddy is EVACUATED all the way across the ocean to the United States and Harriet is left in London to face the BLITZ! The pair promise to write to each other as often as they can, but soon Teddy is swept up in his new life, while Harriet feels lonely and frightened whenever the sirens begin to howl... Commemorating eighty years since the start of World War Two, My Best Friend the Evacuee is an exciting read for children aged 6+, packed with fascinating historical details.
