About this ebook
During World War II, a young girl navigates leaving behind her home and beloved dog after the London Blitz. A timeless historical coming of age exploration of girlhood and grief from the award-winning author of And We Stay, perfect for fans of The Night War.
The year is 1941, and as bombs fall on London, Bee Knightley is sent to the one place she might be safe: a remote Scottish island called Rum, where she will stay with the aunt she never knew existed. She is expected to live her life as normally as she can.
Except life on Rum is anything but normal. Her aunt lives alone at the edge of the sea, the fog rolls in heavy at night, and the locals whisper legends of a selkie roaming the island. Missing her family and her beloved dog, Bee longs for home. But as she explores the island with its windswept cliffs, wild ponies, and mysterious castle, she uncovers startling secrets that change everything she thought she knew about herself.
A timeless historical coming-of-age story woven in vivid, lyrical prose, award-winning author Jenny Hubbard’s What Girls Keep in Their Pockets is a tender, wistful exploration of leaving childhood behind.
