5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book! Oct 8 2001
By Canasta Jack
I'd read Nina Bawden's "The Peppermint Pig" when I was in elementary school, but our library didn't have any other titles by her. The book listed all of Bawden's other titles, but I didn't get to read "Carrie's War" until I was in high school. It's a wonderful story, and a fascinating look into the world of one of the many children sent to stay in the rural British countryside during World War II.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sounded boring, was actually great Jun 21 1998
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
With the boring front cover and a bland excerpt on the back I thought I would just stop reading the book and throw it away after the first twenty pages. But it really surprised me and was one of my favourite books when I was a couple of years younger.
