The powerful new novel from the master storyteller - inspired by the true story of one man who might have stopped World War II. The train is under attacks from German fighters. In the darkness, sheltering in a railway tunnel, the stranger in the carriage with Barney and his mother tells them a story to pass the time. And what a story. The story of a young man, a young soldier in the trenches of World War I who, on the spur of the moment, had done what he thought was the right thing. It turned out to have been the worst mistake he ever could have made – a mistake he must put right before it is too late… This award-winning novel by the Sunday Times bestselling author, Michael Morpurgo, takes the reader on a thrilling adventure through the dark tunnels of Europe during World War II. The emotions and virtues of the characters are as real as the historical events that unfold, making An Eagle in the Snow a bestseller in children's fiction. For fans of Philip Pullman (The Firework Maker's Daughter), Katherine Rundell (The Wolf Wilder), Louis Sachar (Sideways Stories From Wayside School), Dick King-Smith (The Fox Busters), and Elizabeth Laird (Welcome to Nowhere).
