London Calling
by Edward Bloor

Recommended by:  Cece S.
Have you ever wanted to travel back in time? Perhaps to London in the years 1940-1944? Then this book would be appealing to you! This book is about a boy named John Martin Conway, or Martin. Martin has been having these dreams lately where he appears to be in London in the year 1940. He meets a boy named Jimmy who tells Martin, or Johnny, as Jimmy calls him, that he has a "bit" to do. It isn't until way later that Martin actually figures out what his "bit" to do is. My favorite part in the book is the part where Martin beats up Hank Lowery IV. It was cool to see him finally stand up for himself. I like how the author made time travel seem possible. Read this book to see what Martin's "bit" was. 

This book was: Very nicely written! Excellent!

I would recommend this book to: History lovers.

I rate this book:
