Synopsis
One of a series of top-quality fiction for schools, this novel won the "Guardian" Fiction Prize and was runner-up for the Booker Prize. Seen through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy stranded in Shanghai in World War II, it is a portrayal of the chaos, confusion and terror of a world torn apart.
