    Looking for book titel-Kids escape to island-British?
    In this book a little girl (10-12 maybe?) is living next door to a house
    That has a lot of children. She is living alone with her mother (I think
    Her father died) and her mother gets called away. They don't know anyone
    In the town because they have just moved there so she has to stay at the
    House next door. The kids are wild and they have some men who come after
    Them for some reason while their mother is gone (shopping maybe?). They
    Then leave to go and hide out on an island (or maybe a lake) that the
    Eldest brother knows about. They have to travel by train to get there. I
    Think there is another brother and a sister and also a baby. I can
    Remember it vividly, it is a somewhat older book (maybe 70's or 80's). I
    Always thought that it was called "The Hiding Place" but I have been
    Looking for it for years under that name and haven't found it yet. It was
    My favorite adventure book when I was younger. Any help would be
    Appreciated!

    Should have thought about two books with the same title. Glad you found it.
