The Skylarks'' War: Winner of the Costa Childrens Book Award

4.24 (2,403 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Hilary McKay

Winner of the Costa Childrens Book Award.

The Skylarks' War is a beautiful story following the loves and losses of a family growing up against the harsh backdrop of World War One, from the award-winning Hilary McKay.

Clarry and her older brother Peter live for their summers in Cornwall, staying with their grandparents and running free with their charismatic cousin, Rupert. But normal life resumes each September boarding school for Peter and Rupert, and a boring life for Clarry at home with her absent father, as the shadow of a terrible war looms ever closer.

When Rupert goes off to fight at the front, Clarry feels their skylark summers are finally slipping away from them. Can their family survive this fearful war?

'This belongs among the classic of childrens literature . . . Funny, sad, warm, it is about growing up and finding what you love.' The Sunday Times, Childrens Book of the Week
