Books with author John Milne

The outbreak of World War ll is imminent, and the British government have just discovered that a young boy, James Edwards, has an extraordinary talent. He can talk to planes and what they tell him could make the difference between the allies winning or losing the war. Fearing for his safety, James is whisked off to a private school in Perthshire. However, his protector, a member of British Intelligence, is not all he seems, and it is not long before James is in grave danger.This is a remarkable story of courage under fire, of strength, resilience and ingenuity, and a young boy’s rite of passage into adulthood. Although marketed as an adventure story to age 9 – 12 readers, the book’s historical and aeronautical accuracy may also appeal to older readers, especially flying enthusiasts and readers of war literature.
