Publisher's Summary

Summer, 1941. When a German plane is shot down over the woods, Peter rushes to the crash site to find something exciting to keep.

But what he finds instead is someone: a young and injured German airman. The enemy. Here. And in trouble. Suddenly, helping him seems like the right thing to do.

A beautiful story

This is simple, honest, wholesome storytelling at its best. The plot is well-crafted, the characters are multi-layered and believable, and the themes are mature but accessible for a young audience.

Well done, Dan, and a great performance, Leon!
