A child makes a horrifying discovery in the midst of the Blitz in this chilling WWll horror, perfect for fans of Darren Shan and Neil Gaiman.
During the Blitz, Bill wishes he had a brother rather than his sister. After the raid, the family find and adopt a badly mutilated boy, his face so heavily bandaged that they can see nothing but his eyes. But the boy's behaviour grows more and more sinister by the day until one day he takes off the bandages – and Bill is horrified to see his own face staring back at him…
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
