Arctic Star by Tom Palmer
Multi-award-winning author Tom Palmer returns with a thrilling naval adventure inspired by the incredible history of the Second World War Arctic convoys."Historical fiction doesn't get much better than this" – LoveReading4Kids
"Had me on the edge of my seat" – Dan Smith
"An excellent and moving tale … Palmer has written a real page-turner here" – Aspects of History
"I'm awestruck by his ability to make history come alive and resonate emotionally in beautifully compact prose … written dramatically and sensitively; Palmer's writing is sharp like a chisel, finding the heart under the harsh cold of war" – Chris Soul
"Artful descriptions ensure that we wholly experience each sensation – from grief to brutal cold – with the characters, and (as always with Tom Palmer) we finish knowing, and caring, much more than when we started" – Roaring Reads, Blog
Tom Palmer was a reluctant reader as a child and credits articles about football with getting him into reading. He is now the multi-award-winning author of many books for young readers, including the Young Quills Award winner After the War and FCBG Children’s Book Award winners Armistice Runner and D-Day Dog. In 2019 Tom was awarded the National Literacy Trust’s Ruth Rendell Award in recognition of his significant contribution to literacy work in the UK.
