This book is about
The children were going to take part in a play. It was all about the war. They went on an adventure and it was to the war and in the adventure they had gas masks in their boxes. There were bombs soon after they got there. They went into shelter and it was really shaky. When they came out a building was knocked down and one was on fire. Firemen were starting to put it out. The children had to put their gas masks on for a practice.

The main characters are
Biff, Chip, Wilma, Wilf, Gran, Mum, Aneena and Kipper.

My favourite part of the book is
When the building was on fire.

I would also like to say
Nothing
