Description

Willem's life is defined by two main goals: to fly and to make friends. But his experiences with other boys from his estate are far from supportive. Bullied by Finn and his gang, Willem has no choice but to jump when shouted at, fearing the consequences of not doing so. As he crashes down and breaks his ankle, Willem meets Sasha Bradley, who is angry with herself for not stopping Finn's bullying. Despite their initial circumstances, they form an unlikely friendship, sharing a secret: both long to fly. The arrival of Magic Man Archie brings new stories of war-flying spitfires, which will change the lives of those on the estate forever. This book explores themes of friendship and overcoming obstacles, highlighting how unexpected connections can lead to positive change.
