THE LIFEBOAT ORPHANS
With the War waging on across Europe, people are desperate to escape the horror. They are willing to risk everything to save those who can’t save themselves. Connie is only fifteen-year’s old, she is leaving war torn England for a better life in America.
She sets out in a lifeboat with six orphans to cross the dangerous Atlantic Ocean. The lifeboat comes under attack and they only have each other. Known as the Blitz Kids, they each suffered so much in their life, but they never gave up and cling to hope.
“The Lifeboat Orphans” by Ellie Curzon is a totally heartbreaking story of survival at its core. I experienced every emotion for the children and Connie as well, as I turned page after page. This emotional story was very inspiring.
The Blitz Kids exhibited such courage and resilience throughout their life. They overcame so much when they had so little. They had someone that believed in them and was the shoulder they needed when they wanted to cry and needed a hug. This amazing story takes the reader from heartbreak to hope. I absolutely recommend this story.
