Description

A true story of two brothers and the war that changed everything.

Michael Morpurgos wonderful storytelling and Barrouxs stunning artwork combine to tell the true story of Michaels uncles against the epic backdrop of World War Two.
Francis and Pieter are brothers. As the shadow of one war lingers, and the rumbles of another approach, the brothers argue. Francis is a fierce pacifist, while Pieter signs up to fight. What happens next will change the course of Franciss life forever and throw him into the mouth of the wolf.

Reviews

Praise for Michael Morpurgo:

Michael Morpurgo writes brilliantly about war and animals, conveying the big emotions without preaching. Guardian

There are few childrens writers as compelling as Michael Morpurgo. Daily Express

Morpurgo, as always, is subtle and skillful, and incorporates social and moral issues into his writing without being self-righteous or detracting from the quality of the narrative

Elizabeth Reilly, British Council

The former children's laureate has the happy knack of speaking to both child and adult readers. Guardian
