The Blurb On The Back:
”I am just a child,” says John. “How can I be at war?”
It’s 1918, and war is everywhere. John’s dad is fighting in the trenches far away in France. His mum works in the munitions factory just along the road. His teacher says that John is fighting too, that he is at war with enemy children in Germany.
One day, in the wild woods outside town, John has an impossible moment: a meeting with a German boy named Jan.
John catches a glimpse of a better world, in which children like Jan and himself can come together, and scatter the seeds of peace.
