Description

Injured Ethelred the Unready is one of only three elite carrier pigeons trained to undertake two-way flights. Konstantin von Essen is the traumatized son of Generalfeldmarschall Dieter von Essen, Commander for Operations in the North Zone of Occupied France. In Surrey, eleven-year-old Dottie Latymer faces bullying due to her Anglo-American identity and accent. Dottie's only friend, Rose Clarke, has a violent father and a mother struggling with mental ill-health. Together, they must overcome their personal obstacles to supply MI5 with game-changing intelligence. This story explores the challenges faced by those who are different in wartime Britain. The book is a historical fiction novel that delves into the lives of three young people trying to survive and contribute during World War II.
