About this item:

Winner of the FCBG Children's Book Award 2020

Jack can't wait for the school trip to the D-Day landing beaches. It's his chance to learn more about the war heroes he has always admired brave men like his dad, who is a Reserve soldier.

But when his dad is called up to action and things at home spiral out of control, everything Jack believes about war is thrown into question. Finding comfort only in the presence of his loyal dog, Finn, Jack is drawn to the heart-wrenching true story of one particular D-Day paratrooper.

On 6 June 1944, Emile Corteil parachuted into France with his dog, Glen - and Jack is determined to discover their fate

Review

"Another very emotional read from Tom Palmer and Barrington Stoke. They're the perfect pairing" Phil Earle, Author

"Fantastic writing with a wide-ranging narrative, this story will prompt all who read it to think differently about conflict." National Literacy Trust

"A slim yet impactful tale inspired by real-life events from World War II ... Tom Palmer is, to my mind, the best author writing accessible history inspired children's fiction today." John O Groats Journal

"A story full of heart, warm and so tenderly handled ... With so much packed into a short read, there is every reason for this book to be devoured left, right and centre. Get it on your bookshelves at the library, at school, at home. The children need this." That Boy Can Teach, Blog

"Tom Palmer sensitively yet unflinchingly discusses the consequences and emotions involved in warfare. Brilliantly researched, the book is full of fascinating facts which are woven together to create a truly moving and gripping read ... leave time for conversations afterwards. The ideas and issues contained within this simple and compelling story are too important to gloss over."

We purchased this book for our 9 year old granddaughter as she was reading it as part of her school reading project.She enjoyed reading it so much that my wife, her nanna read it on her Kindle. Thoroughly enjoying it she went on the read several more war books for children by the same author, Tom Palmer.

I am a 47 yr old woman who fell in love with the cover and felt like it's good to mix up the books we read, this is such a well written and beautifully told story. The main character goes through all kinds of emotions and conflicts about war, until he has a long and eye opening talk with the Coach Driver his firm emotions start to shift. Recommended for youngsters of any age.

M.J.A. · 16 July 2019

This book was perfect for introducing D-Day to my class, many of whom find school difficult. They were silent as I read aloud and all wanted to know more. The resources Tom Palmer puts on his website are also amazing, and we used them in class. I've now bought a second copy for a young family friend, and I know he will love it too

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!

Perfect, concise and balanced, contemporary yet contextual. A new classic school text. A school project on D-Day and a trip to Normandy force Jack to explore his views on war. 100% relatable and in my opinion, @tompalmerauthor best work to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daughter obsessed with wars
