September 1939. The world is on the brink of war. As his dad marches off to fight, Noah makes him a promise, to keep their beloved family dog safe. When the government advises people to have their pets put down in readiness for the chaos of war, hundreds of thousands of people do as they are told. But not Noah. He' s not that sort of boy. With his two friends in tow, he goes on the run, to save his dog and as many animals as he can. No matter what.
"A page-turning triumph to make you laugh and cry - it' s Phil Earle at his best" -- Jacqueline Wilson "A truly brilliant story of courage and resilience and exceptional animals. This wartime Incredible Journey (only far, far better) is definitely Phil Earle' s best yet" -- Emma Carroll "Phil Earle' s exceptional characters lead us through a story of real grit and heart. The special bonds between children and animals are explored in a fresh way in this compelling wartime adventure, and Earle gives equal weight to harsh realities and deep compassion. Another stunning read from one of the most authentic storytellers writing for children today" -- Lesley Parr, author of The Valley of Lost Secrets "Fans of Phil Earle' s When the Sky Falls are going to love While the Storm Rages. Plucky-but-plausible kids, a desperate journey up the Thames with a floating menagerie of loveable animals - all this and World War 2" * Philip Reeve * "A big-hearted adventure with big-hearted kids desperately fighting to do the right thing in a messed-up world - the kind of story I adore" * Keith Gray *
