Product description
This first new novel in two years from the Nation’s Favourite Storyteller is a sweeping story of love and rescue – an unforgettable journey to the Greek island of Ithaca, and back in time to World War Two…
Australian-Greek girl Nandi travels to her ancestors’ home in Ithaca, and discovers – through a friendship with an extremely unusual flying fish – the extraordinary story of her great-aunt Elena; of how she fell in love, in the hardest of times, and how of how she became an unsung hero of World War Two.
But Elena has gone missing, and Nandi has to find her. In her search, she will discover that Elena was an even greater hero than she thought – and still is…
Nandi’s story is a beautiful and inspiring tale of personal discovery, of love and place and belonging, threaded through with the quiet heroism of everyday people. Stunningly illustrated throughout by acclaimed artist George Butler, and full of magic, myth and mystery, it is a classic Morpurgo novel that will move and thrill every reader who loved Private Peaceful and War Horse, and combines all the hallmarks of this beloved Master Storyteller.
Our November 2021 Ages 11+ Book of the Month
My October Book of the Month for children aged 11 and above is When Fishes Flew. When Nandi travels to her ancestors’ home on a Greek island, she discovers the extraordinary story of her great-aunt Elena. Who fell in love, in the hardest of times, and how she became an unsung hero of World War Two. But now Elena has gone missing, and Nandi has to find her. In her search, she will discover that Elena was an even greater hero than she thought – and still is…
This is the first novel in two years from previous Children’s Laureate and from the Nation’s Favourite Storyteller Michael Morpurgo. Nandi’s story is an inspiring tale of personal discovery and belonging, threaded through with the quiet heroism of everyday people. Full of magic, myth and mystery, journey from Australia to the Greek island of Ithaca, and back in time to World War Two… And in true animal-lover Morpurgo fashion, our protagonist forms a friendship with an unusual flying fish.
The stunning illustrations throughout by acclaimed artist George Butler will engage all readers. Plus, we have an exclusive early paperback edition that you won’t find anywhere else, along with a price you can’t beat.
