Sing and her enormous family are back!

In this sequel to The House on Palmer Road, nine-year-old Sing and her family have barely moved into their big new house on a hill when the first Japanese bombs fall on Singapore. Through Sing's eyes, readers live through the Japanese Occupation: rationing, hidden radios, a secret floor in the house, and finally the return of the Allies. Based on the real childhood of author Si-Hoe S.S., with over 40 illustrations by Lim An-Ling.
