What’s inside each book

Armistice Runner
Lily faces real-life struggles: falling performance in fell-running and the heartbreak of watching her gran’s Alzheimer’s worsen. When she unearths her great-great-grandfather’s First World War diaries, the past becomes a bridge to the present — offering courage, family connection and the renewed determination she needs to race on.

D-Day Dog
Jack’s school trip to the D-Day landing beaches should be a chance to celebrate heroism, but life at home complicates everything when his father, a Reserve soldier, is called up. Jack’s beliefs about bravery, loyalty and the realities of war are tested in this thoughtful, character-driven story.

After the War
Summer 1945. Three hundred children arrive in the Lake District to begin rebuilding lives shattered by the Holocaust. Yossi, Leo and Mordecai’s journey from survival to safety offers a sensitive and hopeful portrayal of recovery, friendship and the small steps that rebuild a future.

Over the Line
A gripping tale that crosses sport and wartime memory: Jack recalls a proud debut as a professional footballer, a brief escape from the horrors lurking beyond the trenches. Tom Palmer captures the contrasts between youthful dreams and the harsh realities of conflict.

Arctic Star
Winter 1943 aboard an Arctic Convoy — follow Royal Navy recruits Frank, Joseph and Stephen as they sail treacherous northern waters to deliver supplies to the Soviets. Tense, atmospheric and rooted in historical fact, this novel brings naval wartime experience to life for younger readers.
