The free multi-format ebook on Smashwords.com features wheelchair user and main character Connie, and follows three children who whirl back in time through an enchanted potter’s wheel into the reality of evacuation in 1940s Britain.

Feisty Connie, her brother Charlie-Mouse, and school pest Malcolm are drawn into dangers on the homefront and towards a military secret that will save a historic home from demolition. The children hit trouble when Malcolm fails to return to the present day. Following clues to reveal the secret, and in her quest to find her once arch enemy, Connie draws the mystery to an exciting close.
