A Medal For Leroy

by Michael Morpurgo

Michael has never known his father, an RAF pilot who vanished during the war. His mother, fiery and grieving, keeps the past locked away—until Auntie Snowdrop hands Michael a medal, then a photograph, and with them, a key to a buried past. As secrets unravel, Michael uncovers a legacy of love, loss, and identity that will transform how he sees his family—and himself.
