Aidan Chambers' Carnegie-medal winning novel is about love,
discovery and betrayal. It is one of The Originals from Penguin -
iconic, outspoken, first. Jacob, aged 17, is abroad on his own for
the time, visiting his grandfather's grave at the commemoration of
the Second World War Battle of Arnhem in Holland. Jacob's
life-changing experiences are interwoven with the extraordinary
wartime story of passion and treachery that he learns from
Geertrui, whose family is linked to Jacob's in a way he never
suspected. The Originals are the pioneers of fiction for young
adults. From political awakening, war and unrequited love to
addiction, teenage pregnancy and nuclear holocaust, The Originals
confront big issues and articulate difficult truths. The collection
