The Oceans Between Us - Gill Thompson

Jack is five when a bomb explodes in his London home during the war, and he is separated from his mother Molly.  Sent to Australia as part of a child migrant scheme it is hard for him to adjust to his changed circumstances and he wonders if he will ever see his mother again.

Based on real life events. I found this book easy to read and I did have an interest in the characters, but found it a bit predictable in parts.  3/5
