1938
It's the year of The KinderTransport but will Baby and Fingers actually get to America at last?
In the chaos a terrified golden-haired girl pulls street-thief Baby from certain death, but Blackshirts overpower them and seize the girl.
Baby tracks the Blackshirts to the coast, where she finds a railway carriage hidden in Brambles, a gang of renegade girls and thirteen-year- old Ida trying to protect her golden haired little sister. . .
Fifteen-year-old would be doctor, Letitia Ketton from Norfolk is determined to help with the rescue effort. Most of the children are taken to a camp, north of the town but some under the 'care' of a teacher called Easton Fitzgerald are billeted at Nettlefield Grange Orphanage. Baby is sure the Blackshirts are putting kids in peril again – have they jumped from the frying pan into the fire?
Baby and the other wonder girls must work out what the fascists are really up to, and to prevent a Nazi invasion, persuade Letitia to value what she's really good at.
