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.

September 1939. Britain is on the brink of war.

As Noah Price’s dad marches off to fight, he asks his son to honour one vital promise: that he will keep their dog, Winn, safe. No matter what. Noah agrees, but his best intentions are crushed when the government advises people to have their pets put to sleep as part of the war preparations. Children are heartbroken; queues outside vets’ surgeries stretch for miles. But Noah is a resourceful and impetuous child. He won’t just do what he is told. Far from it. With his two friends in tow, he makes a pledge—to go on the run and save as many animals as he can, whatever the cost.

This was a stunning listen for children and adults. Heartbreaking at times but a fabulous story which should become a classic.

Just brilliant

I downloaded this immediately after reading When the Sky Falls. There were so many times when I wanted to pause the story to Tweet of the most recent instalment, however, I was torn between doing so and listening on..I just had to listen further.

A great write and performance from Mr Earle.

Another excellent creation from Earle

I wish authors would stick to what they do best and leave actors to do what they do best. I spent the first few chapters trying to work out why children were being evacuated from Yorkshire and then it just annoyed me that everyone from the east end of London had a northern accent. It detracted from the otherwise fantastic story.

Great story but irritating narration
