Synopsis

A gripping graphic novel set in wartime Dublin, where two children must overcome prejudice to help a refugee on the run.

Graphic novel adaptation of the classic wartime novel

When Hetty Golden's family move to Martin Street near Portobello bridge in Dublin, they're not sure of their welcome. And next door, Ben Byrne's family are not sure about their new Jewish neighbours: it's the Emergency and they are suspicious of strangers.

To repay a debt, Ben agrees to do odd jobs for the Goldens, keeping it a secret from his family. But there's a bigger secret: Renata, a refugee from Nazi Germany, is on the run in the city, and Hetty is determined to rescue her.

Can Hetty and Ben overcome their differences and save Renata, or are they just meddling in things they know too little about?

It won the prestigious Bisto Book of the Year Award and was followed by 17 Martin Street, set in Dublin during The Emergency (as the Second World War was knows in Ireland). Both have been hugely popular with schools throughout Ireland and beyond.
