- More about Operation Doodlebug: a wartime story of friendship, courage and one boy’s heart-wrenching quest for truth
From award-winning author Tia Fisher comes an unforgettable wartime story of friendship, courage, and one boy's heart-wrenching quest for the truth. Perfect for fans of Phil Earle and Michael Morpurgo.
It's 1944 and Stan's hopes of keeping his family together until the war is over are shattered when his father signs up to fight. Left with his mother in Croydon as Hitler sends over waves of V1 rockets, Stan suffers endless air-raid sirens and long nights in the cramped Anderson shelter they share with their neighbours.
Then comes the news they were dreading: his father is missing, presumed killed. But Stan refuses to give up hope, and when a mysterious piece of doodlebug shrapnel holds crucial information from a prisoner of war, he and his friends run away to track down the truth.
A gripping World War Two adventure based on true events in the Doodlebug Summer of 1944, from Carnegie Shadower's Choice winner Tia Fisher. Illustrated with impactful black-and-white art by Manuel Šumberac.
