Competition: Once Upon A Wartime

February 15 2011

Do you like reading and fancy writing a review for the Imperial War Museum - or the IWM as it's known.

The IWM has a special competition about the war stories in its Once Upon A Wartime exhibition.

Your book review could be published on their website and win you some tickets to see the exhibition...

The first story to review is Carrie's War by Nina Bawden.

In the story, set in World War Two, Carrie and her little brother are evacuated to Wales.

If reading Carrie's War has inspired you, why not write your own evacuee letter?
