Interest Age 8-10  Reading Age 8 |  World War One remains a subject of fascination for readers of all ages, but Tom Palmer finds an original way in to the topic in this poignant new story.  Lily is a keen fell runner, though she’s fed up of coming in as runner up in races.  A visit to her grandparents reveals a surprise: her great-grandfather ran on the fells too.  His experiences are recounted vividly in his diary, both his runs in his beloved Cumbria and his experiences as a soldier, recruited to run between positions on the front line, carrying crucial information to the allies. Their shared experiences form a powerful connection, and help Lily to understand herself better, and also to help her grandma when she needs it most. Today and yesterday are seamlessly woven together in a story that will move readers in lots of different ways.
