This is the fifth book in Tony Robinson's Weird World of Wonders series, which are some of my favourite history books. In this book Tony concentrates on the Second World War which is a period of history that really interests me.

Robinson's characters, Peewee and the Curiosity Crew, look at what it would have been like to live during this time. I think this is a very good book, it is one of the best books in the series.

This was a very funny and interesting book. I particularly enjoyed learning about the bomb shelters and gas masks but I don't think I would have liked the Second World War very much!

I think these books are much, much better than the Horrible History books which my brother really likes - they seem to have more facts and are much more interesting than Horrible Histories, whilst still being really funny!

When it comes to history, Tony Robinson is the man to read! I'd give it 5 stars out of 5.
