The Valley of Lost Secrets

by Lesley Parr

When Jimmy is evacuated from London to a quiet Welsh village, the peaceful countryside feels like another world—strange, green, and full of unfamiliar faces. He doesn’t fit in.

Then he discovers a skull hidden inside a tree, and suddenly the valley becomes more unsettling than the war he left behind. With his younger brother too small to help and his best friend now distant, Jimmy doesn’t know who to trust.

But when he teams up with an unlikely ally, the two uncover a mystery tied to the skull—one that will shake the village and change Jimmy’s life forever.
