Forgot to say. Completed and just got better and better. #shrapnelboys is a brilliant piece of historical fiction writing that will go down a storm in Y6. Great work #jennypearson (not sure if you’re on here!)

If the #VEDay80 celebrations have left readers wanting to know more about #WW2, they need to read #ShrapnelBoys by #JennyPearson - a stunning novel with her blend of humour, cracking storylines & emotional depth making for a knockout combination! librarygirlandbookboy.com/2025/05/08/s...

What an honour to be quoted on the press release for Shrapnel Boys by #JennyPearson! There’s no doubt this will be one of my books of the year.
