Synopsis

It is the summer of 1944. For eight-year-old Jack Donaldson and his friends living to the East of London a new danger has emerged. Doodlebugs have created the extra hazard. Nevertheless the bomb sites created by these rockets provide the excitement of more places that eventually can be explored. There are also the American convoys to be intercepted and perhaps a stick of chewing gum to be gained. However, one Doodlebug brings tragedy to the road where Jack lives. Some houses are destroyed. Others just have doors to be repaired and windows to be replaced. But life goes on; there is school to go to and the possibility of victory on the horizon.
