I bought this book at a charity shop in my hometown of Cambridge, Ontario.
The Sky is Falling is the first book in a trilogy, and the trilogy as a whole was among my favourites growing up (this one especially though). It's one I've read again and again over the years. It is a historical fiction novel for kids about young English children who are sent to Canada for safety during the Second World War.
This book is a winner of the Mr. Christie's Book Award, The Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award, and the Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People.

It was also mentioned in passing on CBC's Morningside when the final instalment of the trilogy was released in 1993: http://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/childrens-book-panel-books-for-tweens-and-teens-in-93

Journal Entry 2 by JessicaEby at Six Mile Lake Provincial Park in Port Severn, Ontario Canada on Monday, July 13, 2020
Released 3 yrs ago (7/13/2020 UTC) at Six Mile Lake Provincial Park in Port Severn, Ontario Canada
WILD RELEASE NOTES:
My husband and I are in Barrie for the weekend. He needs to keep up an exercise routine right now for health reasons, and we were craving some fresh air and nature so we went for a short daytrip hike at Six Mile Lake. During our hike I left this book in the park. I put it in a protective bag and left it hanging from a signpost on the David Milne Trail. I chose this book for this location because Six Mile has a place in my past-- not the park but the lake itself was my introduction to Muskoka when I was a teenager, and if you read this book you'll see how that relates!
If you've found this book, thanks for picking it up and checking out its journal! If you're new to bookcrossing, welcome. We'd love it if you'd stick around with us a while. I really hope that you enjoy both this book and the whole bookcrossing experience!
This book was released as part of the 2020 edition of an annual release challenge here on bookcrossing-- the "52 Towns in 52 Weeks" Release Challenge. Port Severn in Town #5 for me.
