Each story pairs real history with emotionally honest young characters, covering the First World War, D-Day, the Holocaust, footballing heroism and the Arctic Convoys.

A brilliant gift set for home or classroom. About the Books Each of the five Conkers titles stands alone but shares Tom Palmer's signature blend of meticulous historical research and warm, character-driven storytelling. Armistice Runner follows fell-runner Lily, who discovers her great-great-grandfather's WWI diaries as her gran's Alzheimer's worsens. D-Day Dog follows Jack, whose school trip to Normandy collides with anxiety when his soldier father is called up. After the War tells the moving, true-inspired story of child Holocaust survivors rebuilding their lives in the Lake District, summer 1945. Over the Line is based on footballer-turned-soldier Jack Cock, contrasting a professional debut with the horror of the trenches. Arctic Star follows three young Royal Navy recruits sailing a perilous Arctic Convoy in winter 1943. Written in short chapters with clear, uncluttered text, every book in the set is designed to be finished in a sitting or two, without sacrificing depth of feeling or historical accuracy. Together they form a compact library of twentieth-century conflict seen through the eyes of ordinary young people, making difficult history approachable, moving and memorable for readers aged eight and up.
