'When bad things happen, when things don't go according to plan, it's easy to say that you need to 'get over it' and 'move on'; it's much harder to actually do it. Esther never wanted to move on, especially not to a country town, especially not during a war. She was dragged there because her father thought it was right. Now he hides in a box all night and looks for heaven in the sky. Why couldn't she be normal, like everyone else? But when she becomes more 'normal', even becoming a member of the mysterious Junior Defence Squadron, things don't get any easier. Particularly when an enemy spy is found.'
