This is the third book in the Shilling Grange Children’s Home series and it starts off just a short while after book 2 finished.
When I opened this eBook it felt like I had come back home, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. Clara Newton is a fantastic housemother because she really does care about the children in the home like they are all her own children and it breaks a little piece of her every time a child is placed with a new family.
In this book which is set in 1951, things are starting to settle from the war now and the Festival of Britain is coming up. The children audition for it and they are put through to go to London’s main event.
There are new children placed at the home and I really felt for little Denny, I just wanted to scoop him up and take him home myself. Clifford another new boy seemed to have a lot of issues that caused his behaviour to spiral, but again living through a war at such a young age, I could see why he was like he was. I absolutely love little Peg, she is such a great character.
Clara and Ivor’s situation is still and problem, one minute they are friends the next they back away from each other, I am rooting for them to finally get together soon!
Overall, this was another fantastic addition to the Shilling Grange Children’s Home series and I hope there will be more books.
