I counted at least six windows - little ones, arched at the top and set deep into the walls. "It was perhaps the nicest room I'd ever seen. You probably know I do love lighthouses too and this one is quite perfect. I do love the cover of this book and when you pick it up you will discover the title is embossed.

Cliff falls asleep but Olive is restless and cold so she puts on her coat and reaches into the pocket only to discover a note in the lining. The two children climb the stairs to their attic room feel sad, displaced and very hungry.
Their reception is completely the opposite. The children are set to stay with Sukie's pen pal and Olive imagines Queenie will be waiting for them with a warm welcome, delicious food and a comfortable home. Sukie is now missing and things have become very dangerous so mum decides to send Olive and Cliff to Devon. Lying in a box under her bed is the coat - actually it was her mum's coat, that Sukie had mysteriously chosen to wear for their outing. When Olive wakes up she finds herself in hospital. Olive grabs hold of Sukie's coat and at that moment a bomb falls nearby. He gave Sukie a piece of paper before taking her hand and squeezing it in both of his."

Olive rushes outside looking for her sister but she sees her with a young man. She leaves them on a pretense of needing the toilet then the air raid sirens sound. Sukie had taken the younger children to the movies. Their father has died while serving with the air-force and then their older sister goes missing. Olive and her brother Cliff are living in London. Following on from books such as Goodnight Mister Tom, Carrie's War, Vinnie's War and The War that saved my life we now have Letters from the Lighthouse.
