The Weather Girls Summary

The Weather Girls by Sarah Webb

Its 1944. Twelve-year-old Grace Devine lives at Blacksod Lighthouse and weather station in County Mayo with her parents and little brother. When a German plane crashes nearby, she and her best friend Sibby risk their lives to save the young pilot. Graces family take him in, but their neighbours are horrified at having an enemy in their midst.

Meanwhile, the Met Office in England suddenly asks Blacksod to send them weather reports every hour. But why? As the wind and rain howl outside, Grace begins to understand that something important is happening, something to do with the war and she is right in the eye of the storm.

A tale of bravery, adventure and a remarkable friendship, inspired by true events from World War 2.

The Weather Girls Reviews

I loved this story of two best friends Grace and Sibby caught up in all the excitement and tensions of World War Two ... Sarah Webb has not only brilliantly captured life during the Emergency, but the dynamics of friendship between two very different girls. A gripping adventure and a great read!

-- Marita Conlon McKenna

A stunning tale of friendship, courage and adventure. I was totally engrossed from the first page. Highly recommended

-- Patricia Forde, Laureate na nOg
