Blitz Kid is a children’s novel written by Eliza Graham under the pen name Rachel Pearse. Published in 2013, the book is set during the London Blitz of World War II and tells the story of a young person living through the bombing raids on the city.
The book draws on the same wartime period that Graham explores in much of her adult fiction, but it is aimed at younger readers. The Rachel Pearse name was used to separate this children’s title from Graham’s main catalog of historical and contemporary novels for adults.
Graham’s familiarity with the WWII era shows in the historical detail of the story. Blitz Kid gives young readers a window into what life was like for children during one of the most dangerous periods in London’s history.
