A Medal for Leroy
The long awaited new novel about identity, loss and the lingering effects of war, from master storyteller Michael Morpurgo, second biggest children’s author, is out now!

Michael’s own story is as strange and surprising as any he has written, and is shot through with the same thread of sadness found in almost all his work. How did this unbookish boy who dreamed of becoming an army officer become a bestselling author instead? What personal price has he paid for success? And why, amidst his triumphs, is he now haunted by regret?
