Joining Up

Have you ever looked at old family photos or documents and wondered what it was really like back then? Tom Gray's second novel takes the reader on that journey through time - back to see the First World War and life in Sheffield under the reign of King George V.

Matt Farrell has a fascination with history and when his dad pulls out some old letters and photos from the loft a mystery unfolds. Matt meets an old comrade of his Grandad when his school puts on a play for the local old folk's home. When he visits the battlefields with his older cousin, his experience and understanding of what happened to the Sheffield Pal's Battalion turns out to be more vivid than he could have ever have imagined as he is pulled back in time to see it for himself. What will he find, and what has his autistic sister got to do with it?
