Childrens

Alice is growing up in post-war London: a grey world of old bomb sites. Her escape is her imagination, which always brightens her day. But when a new boy starts school, her mind begins playing tricks on her. She’s oddly drawn to him, and whenever they are together the world becomes a more exciting place. A place where the things she imagines appear to become real.
