It seemed to last a long time. We looked up frozen in not knowing. Then an almighty explosion shook the ground underneath us and everyone screamed.' Also:This haunting, beautifully-written blend of fact and fiction captures the strength of humanity, the courage in adversity and the heartbreaking loss caused by one of the most tragic episodes in our nations history. Shari Low, Daily RecordSue Reid Sexton gives an insight into Scotlands most devastating wartime event. STV, The Hour The book took me right back. I felt just as lost as the wee girl in the book during the bombing. Isa McKenzie, a real-life Clydebank survivorIt is a work of fiction - but the author has done her homework which really brings Lenny's story to life. This is the best book I have read in a long time. John Sprott, Amazon ReviewIt's great. Good that it isn't in Glaswegian. It's Lenny Gillespie talking, so folks all over can understand it. Allan Balfour, who transcribed Mavis's Shoe into BrailleOMG. We will definitely use it in school!!! I will put it forward as P7's new WW2 novel. Dorothy Murricane.
