Amy Wheatley is proud to be from Brighton, but doesn’t know what to make of the growing number of homeless people in the city. Why don’t these people have a place to live? Where are they from? Why do so many people ignore them entirely, as if they were invisible?Even though Amy is still overwhelmed by her transfer to secondary school, she sets out to make sense of the changing world around her, a quest which will open her eyes as to what is happening on the streets of Brighton.Written on behalf of Invisible Voices of Brighton & Hove by Nisse Visser, author of local bestseller Will’s War in Brighton, and Cair Going, former secondary school teacher and founding member of Invisible Voices of Brighton & Hove.Suitable for ages eleven-and-a-half to one hundred and a bit.All proceeds from this book have been pledged to Cascade Creative Recovery, First Base & Sussex Homeless Support.
In this sequel to Will''s War in Brighton (which covered the Brighton Blitz during the summer of 1940) the story focuses on the evacuee experience through the eyes of thirteen-year-old Will Maskall and nine-year-old Brenda Rodmelle. Both of them are evacuated to the Sussex Weald where they will have to adjust to an entire different way of life in strange and sometimes very odd surroundings. This book can be read separately from Will''s War in Brighton and closes off the Will''s War series by Nisse Visser. Fans of the Secret of the Wyrde Woods series might find it to their liking as the story picks up where Forgotten Road leaves off. Although Exile from Brighton does not form essential reading for that series it is an interesting extra as the main characters from Secrets of the Wyrde Woods make a guest appearance. Just as Will''s War in Brighton was based on the recollections and anecdotes about wartime Brighton, Exile from Brighton seeks to capture the evacuee experience based on people''s personal memories.
