From the bestselling, award-winning author of SKELLIG comes a vivid and moving story, beautifully illustrated, which commemorates the hundred-year anniversary of the end of the First World War. "I am just a child," says John. "How can I be at war?" It's 1918, and war is everywhere. John's dad is fighting in the trenches far away in France. His mum works in the munitions factory just along the road. His teacher says that John is fighting, too, that he is at war with enemy children in Germany. One day, in the wild woods outside town, John has an impossible moment: a meeting with a German boy named Jan. John catches a glimpse of a better world, in which children like Jan and himself can come together, and scatter the seeds of peace. Gorgeously illustrated by David Litchfield, this is a book to treasure.

***30 ország, 200 ezer gyermek kedvence*** Egy nap egy fiatal medvebocs olyat látott az erdőben, amilyet azelőtt még soha. Nem tudta pontosan, mi lehet az, de csodálatos hangokat csalt elő belőle. Ahogy telt-múlt az idő, megtanult játszani ezen a furcsa hangszeren. Egy nap egy kislány és az apukája éppen az erdőben sétáltak. Ahogy meghallották a szépséges muzsikát, elindultak a zene irányába. Mackó nagyon vágyott rá, hogy megismerje a világot az erdőn túl is, ezért új barátaival New Yorkba ment, hogy része legyen egy fantasztikus kalandban. Mindene megvolt, amire korábban vágyott: siker, hírnév és zene. De hiányoztak a barátai és a családja, akik az erdőben maradtak. A bájosan illusztrált mese egy megindító történet a felfedezés öröméről és a valahova tartozás fontosságáról.
