- Synopsis
- At first eleven-year-old Lesley doesn't like the three older Harwood children who live next door to her aunt in London, but she comes to see them differently when she is drawn into their efforts to help a young boy who has entered the country illegally. Alcock explores a contemporary issue: the plight of a child who is a refugee in an alien society. And as four children try to provide a safe haven for this stranger in a strange land, they begin to understand their own strengths as well as their limitations. "Childhood is," Alcock has written, "an exciting and dangerous time, and it fascinates me." Her books reflect that excitement, danger, and fascination.
