Shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award 2020, the story follows Owen, a young boy who understands the importance of a crumbling stone soldier sitting on a bench in the park. At home, Owen and his mum are struggling, and he feels free to be himself when the war-weary soldier is listening. However, nobody else cares about the soldier, and the town council wants to tear him down. Owen is the only one who can save him, but can he find the courage to speak up before it's too late? The story is particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 160g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 194 x 130 x 9 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781781128657                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094042079482,"sku":"9781781128657","price":5.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/f673fd8fe7f892374803e4e8fcc062ab.jpg?v=1628476892","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/owen-and-the-soldier","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
