Roald Dahl’s 2nd book about his young adult life during the war. This is a continuation from Boy, which is based upon his childhood. I highly recommend this book for children aged 9 up, to enable them to learn a little about life in the war. Roald had an amazing life!

Wonderful

We’ve listened to both Boy and Going Solo at least twice as a family, maybe three times, a heartwarming autobiography easy to listen to at any age. Important memories of colonial east Africa and the Mediterranean during WW2. He was very brave but took on the challenges of life and wartime with good natured common sense.

An astounding early life told simply and earnestly
