A group of working-class city children are evacuated to the countryside at the outbreak of the Second World War. The story centers around three of these children and their classmates. It's about their journey to their new home, their homesickness and their conflicts with the local children. Eventually they run away, but are brought back by the military. However this stimulates their parents to come and collect them. There are eleven songs, and recorder parts are provided in the score.

The story is set in a small village just before the First World War, and is based loosely on what happened in Burston, Norfolk between 1910 and 1914. The husband of the headmistress of the village school, also a teacher there, organizes the agricultural labourers to take over the Parish Council, and this results in the headmistress and her husband being dismissed. The children feel this unfair and go on strike, and a separate "strike school" is set up, and eventually recognized by the authorities. The play concentrates on the effect this has upon the relationships between the children - how friendships are created and destroyed and family loyalties tested. The relevance of the general social unrest of the time is also indicated by means of songs concerning the suffragettes, the Trade Unions and the birth of the Labour Party. There are thirteen songs, and recorder parts are provided in the score.

It is the children's efforts to stop the dismissal which brings everybody peacefully together. There are nine songs, all of them about issues important to the children, with titles such as "Friendship", "Mum & Dad'll Be Glad", You're Not On Our Side, and "Don't Bear Grudges". Recorder parts are provided in the score.
