Evacuated from her home in wartime England, Sally Armitage hates everything about her new life with her uncle and aunt in Sawyers Creek. When she finds an old hut, hidden away in an abandoned forest clearing, it becomes her place of safety, a secret cubby to which she can escape to dream her daydreams and invent her own world of fantasy and adventure.
But when a mysterious stranger discovers Sally's hideout, fantasy and reality become confusingly intertwined and she finds herself the keeper of an alarming secret.
