Put Out the Light — Terry Deary

Winner of the 2012 Sheffield Children's Book Award.

This thrilling adventure from bestselling 'Horrible Histories' author Terry Deary brings the Blitz to life.



It's 1940 and war is underway. In Sheffield, England, a brother and sister set out to solve a mystery, brazenly believing that the air-raid signals are only false alarms. In Dachau, Germany, two boys come up with a bold plan to bring an end to the war and help a Polish prisoner escape. But when the bombs falling on Sheffield become a reality, and the German boys' plan hurls them unwittingly into the midst of the action, the children's adventures swiftly become a terrifying fight to survive.
