Jersey. Joe makes light of his father's unpredictable anger, and Spinner tries to ignore the school bully, Percy, while dealing with her own mounting fears. As for Ginger, her cousin, he's nervous of the biggest bully of all, Hitler, while her neighbour, farmer's son Clem, is apparently just keeping his head down. But on the sly, Clem is learning to box, has hidden a gun and he's going to deal with Percy - and possibly the Germans - all by himself. All the same, none of them believes the Germans will actually invade. Then the island is bombed, Joe is injured and outrage turns to terror as the Germans arrive and their grip on the peaceful island tightens. Initially, the adults avoid direct confrontation, while the gang is determined to go further, aiming to destroy German morale and trip them up in their every move.
