'An orphan with no prospects, Charlie Matters’ life has always been a fight for survival. He emerged miraculously unscathed from the Blitz, but there’s no telling when the next bomb will fall, or whether it will be the one to end his life.

Molly Wakefield’s dreams of a joyful homecoming are all she’s had to hold on to after being evacuated to the countryside five years ago. But when she finally returns, Molly faces a London changed beyond recognition, and the devastating news that neither of her parents are there.

Charlie’s and Molly’s paths converge at The Book Keep, where they find an unexpected ally and protector in the bookshop’s owner, widower Ignatius Oliver. But the trio’s newfound peace is jeopardized as past secrets catch up with them. Can they help one another survive this turbulent time? Or will they be ripped apart from the last remaining people they hold dear?'

Starting school in September? Come along to the library to one of our Starting School Meet and Connect Sessions. There will be stories and play and a chance to meet with other children and families starting the same school. See you there!

Tomorrow marks the start of the Empathy Day Festival – a national initiative taking place from 4–11 June. This annual event aims to inspire children to learn more about empathy and strive to build a better world for everyone.

Picking up a book can help young people step into the lives of different characters, experiencing their joy, grief and fears. Reading teaches an understanding for others, an ability to listen before reacting and to pause before judging.

As a starting point, we've highlighted some titles that can be found at but lots more can be found on the online catalogue and via BorrowBox:
