A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month June 2023

Award winning Phil Earle’s previous titles, including When the Sky Falls, have shown what a gift he has for writing about animals.

In Until the Road Ends he uses the perspective of a dog, a cat and a pigeon – three unlikely travelling companions – to tell a story about the impact of the London Blitz on a family from an original perspective.

Beau has only recently been taken in by the Alford family when the news that children would be evacuated from London was announced. But already, he and Peggy had become inseparable. When Peggy is sent away she writes weekly to her parents but mostly to Beau who gets the gist of it all even though he can’t read the letters.

When disaster strikes Peggy’s parents, Beau teams up with Mabel, the family cat and Bomber, a local homing pigeon who is essential for navigation to the south coast. Their adventurous journey and eventual emotional meeting with Peggy and her brother Wilf are a triumph.
