Midwinter Burning by Tanya Landman

When he's evacuated to Devon, Alfie can't believe his luck. The war seems a million miles away, and living with kind Auntie Bell on her farm, he's happier than he's ever been. He even makes a friend, a boy called Smidge.

But Smidge's life is cloaked in mystery, somehow connected to the Midwinter Burning and the ancient clifftop stones. Auntie Bell says that's all just a bit of fun, but then Smidge goes missing - and Alfie discovers the true horror of the legend.

Can Alfie rescue his friend in time?
