Tom and Iris watch the enemy aircraft coming down towards the trees and make up their minds to go hunting for souvenirs. But they find more than they bargained for: the injured pilot. And then the air-raid warning sounds and they all have to take shelter. While the two English children and the teenage German pilot are confined together, with bombs falling all around them, Tom and Iris listen to Martin's story...James Riordan's first novel "Sweet Clarinet" was shortlisted for the Whitbread Children's Book Award and won the Nasen Specisl Education Needs Award. James Riordan has earned a reputation for writing about war in a powerful and uncompromising way.
