Andy’s investigations into his great-grandfather Matt’s struggle for survival in the World War One trenches lead him to uncover a mystery – why and how did Matt become friends with a German soldier? A school trip is a chance to find out more…if he can find the money to go.

But Andy has struggles of his own in the shape of the Squaddies, a gang of bullies determined to make his life a misery. Can learning about the past and making an unexpected friendship of his own give Andy the courage to face up to them?

Born in Kenton, Wendy Worley grew up in Beaconsfield on the edge of the Chilterns. She now lives on the Mendip Hills near Frome.

As a child, Wendy always had her nose in a book, and spent many hours browsing in the local library. However, her working career began as a scientist with a brief spell in the Met Office and then building research. She completed an Open University degree before combining work as a school science technician with running the library at Somervale School in Midsomer Norton.

Later, as a full-time librarian at Sidcot, Wendy immersed herself in children’s literature and learning. One of the highlights of managing a school library was organising author events and meeting a host of talented authors inspired Wendy to start writing, which has now become a full-time occupation. She is a regular book reviewer for the School Library Association and is an active member of the Frome Writers’ Collective, which supports and promotes writers in the Frome area.
