What Was It Like?
What's the book about?
The story follows Biff, Chip and their friends as they get ready for a school play about life in wartime, but they find it hard to imagine what it was really like. Then the magic key begins to glow and whisks them back in time to a city during World War Two, where they meet a real child from the past. They have to stay safe during air raids, try on gas masks, and see bomb damage, before coming home with a much better understanding of how people lived and stayed brave.

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.
