Back Home

Buonanotte, signor Tom

The Second World War has ended, but Henry is fighting his own battles. He misses his father, who died a war hero, and his only distraction is the cinema. But everything is about to change. When Henry develops an old camera film he uncovers a mystery and events spiral until his life resembles the drama of the big screen. Like a bomb waiting to explode, Henry's discovery will shatter his world

Just Henry. Michelle Magorian

Back Home is David Wood's second adaptation of a celebrated Michelle Magorian novel. After five happy years, evacuee Rusty returns to England from America. Her mother is a stranger, her little brother doesn't know her, her grandmother criticises her accent and attitudes, and the strict girls' boarding school to which she is sent is quite unlike her American progressive co-ed. She rebels, and her feisty determination sees her win through, but not before her family becomes a casualty of the effects of the war.

Willie Beech is evacuated to the countryside as the Second World War breaks out. A sad, deprived child, he slowly begins to flourish under the care of old Tom Oakley. But then his mother summons him back to war-torn London... Will he ever see Mister Tom again? One of the best stories about wartime ever written.
