Miriam doesn't understand why her mum is buying more food than they need, and storing it away. Or why her parents have given her the nickname, Mandy. Her friend Pam says it's because war is coming. And, if the Nazis invade, it will be dangerous for her to have a Jewish name. But that's not going to happen, is it? Outbreak is a historical story set at the start of World War II.

Part of the specially-commissioned White Wolves fiction range for 7-11 year olds, written in consultation with the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education. Each year group has three stand-alone titles and accompanying Teachers' Guides to support guided reading lessons in the classroom. Alison Prince is a well-established and award-winning author, known particularly for her historical fiction. The series is already garnering praise in the press: 'It's a pleasure to read commissioned work which fulfils its brief so imaginatively' Books for Keeps. Ties in with the NLS Year 4 theme: stories with historical settings.
