Samenvatting:

The brand new emotional and heart-wrenching tale from the author of The Lost Evacuee and The Boy with the Suitcase

In a time of war, an orphaned boy must embark on an epic journey…

After the death of his beloved father, Arthur and a group of other young evacuees are sent far away to Canada for their own safety on the eve of the Second World War. Alone and afraid, with no family to protect him, Arthur faces an unknown future.

But even on the other side of the world he can’t escape the war. Faced with more upheaval, Arthur begins to doubt he will ever find his forever family. With so much heartache and turmoil, can he hold on to his dream of love and happiness?

In this top historical fiction, Arthur's adventure is a poignant coming of age saga set against the backdrop of the 20th century's most defining action - World War II. His life, filled with pre-war innocence, is forever altered by the harsh realities of the time.

For fans of Rosie Clarke (Family Matters at Blackberry Farm), Fenella J Miller (A Dangerous Husband), Lizzie Lane (Tough Times on Coronation Close), Anna Stuart (The Secret Message), and Lizzie Page (An Orphan's Song).
