Reviews
"Such a meaningful and moving story about friendship, kindness, and what it is to be brave. I loved it." – Dan Smith "Wise and kind and so vividly told" – Hilary McKay "A masterful exploration of trauma and kindness, hope and loss. A cast of richly-drawn characters bring the well-plotted story to life and the setting feels both timeless up in the fells around Grasmere, and indelibly rooted in its WWII period." – Tom Percival "Strong characters, great emotionally engaging plot and fascinating historical content woven with great skill into a fine novel telling a little known story from WWII." – Nicola Davies "A really beautiful book – classic feel, characters you care about, incredible setting. Perfect for classrooms, but also just a lovely (and moving) read." – Lesley Parr "Sharply perceptive and emotive … with a gripping storyline, strands of real history, and a warm and wise exploration of friendship, kindness, and what it is to be brave, this atmospheric adventure is both an inspiration and a reminder of the nation’s wartime hardships, sufferings and sacrifices." – Lancashire Post "Full of heart, wisdom and kindness, this is a book that young readers will adore … the powerful storytelling never condescends, instead offering a full and heartfelt story alive with vibrant characters … Sure to become a firm favourite, this is a skilful and engrossing tale of wartime rural life." – Amy McKay, LoveReading4Kids "This is a beautiful book – hard as well as truthful as well as warming. Read it as soon as you can." – Jim Sells, National Literacy Trust "Breathtakingly beautiful … Tom shows how hope and kindness can still exist whilst sensitively teaching the reader more about Dunkirk, PTSD and desertion … Another story where you feel as if you’re touching history, it’s definitely a must read!" – Check 'Em Out Books, blog
