Named Children's Book of the Week by The Times! Inspired by a true
family story, Michael Rosen presents an astonishing account of
perseverance, love and hope in wartime. Beginning in 1939, young
Solly in London exchanges letters with his teenaged cousin, Bernie,
in Poland. While Solly is evacuated and tries his best to adjust to
life in the English countryside, Bernie's parents know that as Jews
they're not safe staying in Warsaw, so they send Bernie to the
Russian-occupied side of the country in the hope that he'll be
safer there. Soon, though, he is arrested and sent off to a forced
labour camp in Russia. As the cousins exchange sporadic letters,
they try to keep their spirits up, trading jokes and observations
about the world changing all around them. Then Bernie seizes the
opportunity to join the "Anders Army" and fight the Axis powers,
and tells Solly all about his experiences in Iraq and eventually
Italy, where he fights alongside the British at the famous Battle
of Monte Cassino. Does Bernie survive and find a safe place to call
home? With breathtaking illustrations by beloved illustrator
Michael Foreman, this is an unforgettable story of courage and
love, perfect for the whole family to share. Michael Rosen is one
of the best-known figures in the children's book world, known for
his work as poet and author of classic books such as WE'RE GOING ON
A BEAR HUNT. This book is a perfect companion to POPPY FIELD by
Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman. Together, the books are a
wonderful introduction to the history of the great wars of the 20th
century and the importance of Remembrance.
