"Struck the playhouse"?[edit]

A bomb falls, strikes the playhouse the girls are in, explodes creating a crater 70ft across, yet the girls are only injured? Sounds a bit dubious. More like the bomb landed nearby the treehouse, the subsequent explosion injuring them. AnnaGoFast (talk) 23:25, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
