{"product_id":"fireweed","title":"Fireweed","description":"\u003cp\u003eA re-issue of a forgotten favourite, FIREWEED is an evocative and unflinching story of wartime survival for younger readers\u003cbr\u003e\n                    Bill is a fifteen-year-old runaway evacuee, and he's finding that surviving on the streets of London is pretty easy, thank you very much. He's fed by a local cafe owner, he earns some cash as a barrow-boy in Covent Garden, and sleeping in the Underground air-raid shelters is cosy - if a bit smelly. Things get more complicated for Bill with the arrival of Julie. She's a runaway too, and although she's a bit posh, she's just as determined as Bill to stay free of interfering parents and 'the social'. But although it's fun for a while to duck Jerry missiles and camp out in bombed-out houses, the reality of living through the Blitz quickly begins to set in. Winter is coming, and Bill and Julie will discover that playing at being grown-ups can be a very dangerous game....\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                    \u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1969, and winner of the 1970's Book World Festival Award, FIREWEED evokes a time of tin Spitfires, powdered eggs, warm woollen mittens and reading by firelight. Perfect for readers young and old, this book is a  beautifully written classic, full of adventure, heroism and British wartime courage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hot Key Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42972943089830,"sku":"9781471401749","price":14.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9781471401749_1.jpg?v=1656045606","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/fireweed","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
