Can a boy possibly save the animals and lead them all to the promised land? A thrilling of adventure involving a stolen ark, a motley crew of animals and a crashed Spitfire, from award-winning author, Phil Earle.
'Don't let anything happen to her, you hear?'
September 1939. Britain is on the brink of war, and as his dad marches off to fight, Noah makes him a promise: to keep their beloved family dog safe.
When the government advises people to have their pets put down in readiness for the chaos of war, hundreds of thousands of people do as they are told. But not Noah. He’s not that sort of boy. With his two friends in tow, he goes on the run, to save his dog and as many animals as he can. No matter what.
'A truly brilliant story of courage and resilience and exceptional animals. This wartime ‘Incredible journey’ (only far, far better) is definitely Phil Earle’s best yet.'
Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse
‘It’s every bit as good as When the Sky Falls, and that means it’s very good indeed’
Anthony McGowan, author of Lark
'A big-hearted adventure with big-hearted kids desperately fighting to do the right thing in a messed-up world – the kind of story I adore.'
Keith Gray, author of Ostrich Boys
'A page-turning triumph to make you laugh and cry – it’s Phil Earle at his best.'
Jacqueline Wilson, award-winning author of The Story of Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather
'The special bonds between children and animals are explored in a fresh way in this compelling wartime adventure, and Earle gives equal weight to harsh realities and deep compassion. Another stunning read from one of the most authentic storytellers writing for children today.'
Lesley Parr, author of The Valley of Lost Secrets
