A Medal for Leroy

By Michael Morpurgo


This is the story of Michael, a young boy growing up in London after the Second World War. Michael doesn't remember his father, an RAF pilot shot down in the war. But then his aunt gives him a medal and a photograph, which begin to reveal a hidden history. A beautiful and poignant novel inspired by the true story of Walter Tull, the first black officer in the British army.
