Children's books about WW2

DD (nearly 11) wants to do a project on WW2 over the summer. I have suggested she reads something set in the period. Goodnight Mr Tom is the obvious classic book but can anyone suggest anything else?

Agree silver sword and dolphin crossing. Great great books. Anne Frank too.
And Carrie's war.
Adolphus Tips and Billy the Kid by Morpurgo.
A few excerpts from adult books might be good. The castle on the hill by Elizabeth Goudge has a lot in it, about rationing, the Blitz.

I love When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit - one of my favourite books ever.

This site has a great WWII children's collection - largely about the Holocaust - you can sort by age: www.amightygirl.com/books/history-biography/history-world?cat=186
