Summary
Master storyteller Tom Palmer returns with a deeply moving and beautifully told novel of friendship and belonging, inspired by the incredible true story of the Windermere Boys.
"The best children’s fiction book I’ve yet read about the Holocaust" – Tim Robertson, CEO Anne Frank Trust
Summer 1945. The Second World War is finally over and Yossi, Leo and Mordecai are among three hundred children who arrive in the English Lake District. Having survived the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps, they've finally reached a place of safety and peace, where they can hopefully begin to recover.
But Yossi is haunted by thoughts of his missing father and disturbed by terrible nightmares. As he waits desperately for news from home, he fears that Mordecai and Leo – the closest thing to family he has left – will move on without him. Will life by the beautiful Lake Windermere be enough to bring hope back into all their lives?

Real
A very real yet accessible account of some very true fictionalised characters. Chapter 13 really hit me. I would definitely recommend to parents wanting their children (10+) to be more engaged with real events from history.

Nothing really happens
Whilst I truly do appreciate the delicate handling of the subject matter, in our opinion this story lacks a storyline. Loved the characters but longed for something to happen.
