Christmas Candle, A

1939. All over Britain, children are being evacuated. Eve Armstrong and her little brother are headed for Devon with their mother. As the train pulls out of London, Eve sees a rude boy sticking his tongue out amongst the shabbily dressed evacuees.
At first Eve is happier than ever at Drake's Farm. Not even her daily chores dampen her spirits. So when Eve runs into the boy from the station, Johnny Durrell, they call a truce and soon become firm friends. But then new evacuee Connie Hale arrives on the scene. Connie is pretty, but also lazy and spiteful - and Johnny's new best friend. Will she fight for Johnny or concede defeat?
