Customer Reviews

Best book ever

This book is great! I read it when I was 8 or 9 and I read all of her series and I re-read them many times. Now as an adult, I take care of kids and they love her as an author as much as I do.. Kit Pearson is a Canadian author, and she isn't recognized as much in the states, but she deserves it!

Eye of the War through Children

This trilogy book contains three books The Sky is Falling, Looking At The Moon and The Lights Go On Again. Each of the books go through a different aspect or obstacle that is faced by the young children who go over to Canada during the duration of the war. There is a wealthy family named the Ogilivies that agree to take in one of the little boys, Gavin, but they are not as willing to take in Norah, but they agree to take her in as well, so that they remain together. Through these different books you will be able to see there hurdles and obstacles as two war guests. If you would like to see the obstacles, and different situations faced by Norah and Gavin, then this book is definetly for you, and you will be glad to be educated about the happenings of the war, and the happenings that happened between Canada and England. It is well worth buying, and it is in language that children can easily understand.

defenitely worth buying

i first read these books (The Sky is Falling, Looking at the Moon, and The Lights Go on Again) when i was 12. Norah and her younger brother Gavin are sent to Canada as 'war guests' from a small village in England during World War II. the first two books are told from Norah's point of view and the third from Gavin's. you can read these separately, but i would recommend buying the whole Trilogy. i have always been a fan of Kit Pearson's, but the three books in the Guests of War Trilogy are my favourite. the characters are very real and the books are well-written and enjoyable at any age even if the target audience seems to be around 12-14.
