Descripción
Injured Ethelred the Unready is one of only three elite carrier pigeons trained to undertake two-way flights. Konstantin von Essen is the traumatized 14-year-old son of Generalfeldmarschall Dieter von Essen, the Commander for Operations in the North Zone of Occupied France. Eleven-year-old Dottie Latymer is evacuated from London to Surrey where her Anglo-American identity, together with her affected American accent, makes her a target for bullies. Rose Clarke, Dottie's only friend, has a violent father and a mother struggling with mental ill-health. Together, they must overcome their personal obstacles to supply MI5 with game-changing intelligence.

Acerca del Autor
Humphreys, Victoria L.
Victoria L. Humphreys was born in Surrey, but now lives in Dorset. She has a PhD in creative writing from the University of Southampton, and has also studied at the University of Ulster, the University of Surrey, and the Moscow State Institute for International Relations. Not the Work of an Ordinary Boy was inspired by a newspaper article about the skeletal remains of a World War Two carrier pigeon found in a chimney. Attached to the pigeon's leg bone was a canister containing a coded message. Since then, she has been fascinated by the war-time flights of these intelligent creatures and the secret messages they once delivered.Garantía & Otros
