This is a wonderful book which tells the story of a group of friends in Liverpool. On the first day of the long summer holidays a group of friends head for Springfield Park to play cricket.
A boundary hit results in the ball ending up on an adjacent disused railway line. While searching for the ball they find an old rocking horse: the head is missing and someone has hidden a large amount of cash in it.
They explore the rest of the tunnel. When they emerge at the other end they discover that the supermarket they know ought to be there has disappeared, and what they see is a rail yard filled with steam locomotives.
Somehow they have landed in 1941, and the country is at war. Back in 'their' time the robbers who hid the money are now searching for it.
