About this listen

On 6 June 1944, Emile Corteil parachuted into France with his dog, Glen – and Jack is determined to discover their fate … Master storyteller Tom Palmer returns with a touching celebration of the heroic paratroopers of WWII and their parachuting canine companions.

Jack can't wait for the school trip to the D-Day landing beaches. It's his chance to learn more about the war heroes he has always admired – brave men like his dad, who is a reserve soldier. But when his dad is called up to action and things at home spiral out of control, everything Jack believes about war is thrown into question. Finding comfort only in the presence of his loyal dog, Finn, Jack is drawn to the heart-wrenching true story of one particular D-Day paratrooper.

Critic reviews

"Fantastic writing with a wide-ranging narrative, this story will prompt all who read it to think differently about conflict" – National Literacy Trust

"A slim yet impactful tale inspired by real-life events … Tom Palmer is, to my mind, the best author writing accessible history inspired children’s fiction today" – North of Scotland Newspapers

"Another very emotional read from Tom Palmer and Barrington Stoke. They are the perfect pairing" – Phil Earle
