'Part coming of age, part war story and part fact - H.J. Lawsons's War Kids is an unforgettable read for the young and old.'

'As I neared the end, I thought - Despite the change in POV, Hayley Lawson's writing is consistent and clear as she pens this story. The way the main character rises to the occasion despite the extreme circumstances she faces.

My final impression and recommendations - I cannot recommend this book enough. It is well-written with a lot of research. Despite the difficult subject matter, the reader is able to feel the characters and emphatise with their situation.'
