Kensuke's Kingdom

<div>From the author of Private Peaceful, a stunning novel about friendship, World War II, a naughty cat, and one girl&rsquo;s bravery which changes her life forever. It&rsquo;s 1943, and twelve-year-old Lily Tregenza lives on a farm in an idyllic seaside village in England. Apart from her father being away and the &ldquo;townie&rdquo; evacuees at school, her life is scarcely touched by the war. That is until Lily and her family, along with 3,000 other villagers, are ordered to evacuate their homes to allow the Allied forces to practice their landings for D-day. It&rsquo;s a dangerous operation&mdash;guns firing and bombs exploding&mdash;and the whole area is off-limits. But Adolphus Tips, Lily&rsquo;s adored cat, has other ideas&mdash;barbed wire and &ldquo;Keep out!&rdquo; signs mean nothing to her . . . Praise for The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips&ldquo;The personal story of anger and love is as gripping as the war drama, and Morpurgo includes a fascinating note about the invasion rehearsal and why its history is seldom told.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist</div>

As the minutes tick by, Thomas remembers his childhood spent deep in the countryside with his mother, his brothers, and Molly, the love of his life. But each minute that passes brings Thomas closer to something he can&rsquo;t bear to think about&mdash;the moment when the war and its horrific consequences will change his life forever. Includes After Words bonus features.Praise for Private Peaceful&ldquo;[A] suspenseful, ultimately tragic novel . . . A moving depiction of a loving relationship between two brothers, their lives so linked that readers may wonder until the end whose fate lies in the balance. All in all, a powerful story about war&#39;s costs, and who pays the price.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review&ldquo;In this World War I story, the terse and beautiful narrative of a young English soldier is as compelling about the world left behind as about the horrific daily details of trench warfare: the mud, rats, gas attacks, slaughter . . . Suspense builds right to the end, which is shocking, honest, and unforgettable.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist, starred review&ldquo;This thoughtful novel touches on themes of humanity and duty, and features brilliant characters whose personal decisions have earned them their very own badges of honor.&rdquo; &mdash;School Library Journal</div>
