Tom's story takes place against the background of war-torn London with it's air raids, doodlebugs, barrage balloons, blackouts and rationing. There is humour and sadness, treachery and friendship, historical fact and spooky fiction entwined in the closely woven plot of Printer's Devil "Beautifully conceived and written.especially for those who like mysteries." The School Librarian "A gripping read." Sarah Lawson.
