Lydia squashed her nose against the window at Susie the childminder%u2019s house as she watched the rain fall. The raindrops formed muddy puddles in the front garden.

Brown Owl taught the girls how to make a %u2018grab bag,%u2019 full of essential items, to %u2018grab%u2019 in case of an emergency. Lydia%u2019s bag contained her twin brother Kit%u2019s torch, a first aid kit, a few snacks and some warm clothes.
