It’s 1918, and Alfie hasn’t seen his father in four years. Then, while shining the shoes of a military doctor at Paddington Station, he discovers that his father is close by – in a hospital treating soldiers with shell-shock. Alfie isn’t sure what shell-shock is, but he’s determined to rescue his dad. The bestselling author of THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS returns with a moving wartime story.
