À propos de ce contenu audio

 Small acts of bravery can have extraordinary consequences. . .

The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Pax delivers an unforgettable WWII novel about an orphan who discovers unexpected courage when he becomes involved with the Resistance in France during Occupation.

"A beautiful story of bravery and resistance. The Lions' Run reminds us that, more than size or strength, heroism begins with heart." RUTA SEPTYS, international bestselling author of Between Shades of Gray

"Tremendous... a vivid, enthralling novel." THE OBSERVER

Petit éclair. That's what the other boys at the orphanage call Lucas. He's tired of his cowardly reputation, just as he's tired of the war and the Nazi occupation of his village. He longs to show how brave he can be.

The chance arrives when he saves a litter of kittens from cruel boys and cares for them in an abandoned stable. There he meets Alice, the daughter of a horse trainer, who is hiding her beloved young horse from
German soldiers.

Soon Lucas begins to realise they are not the only ones in the village with secrets. The housekeeper at the German maternity home and a priest at the orphanage pass coded messages; a young mother at the home makes dangerous plans to keep her baby from forced adoption; and a neighbour in town may be harbouring a Jewish family.

Emboldened by the unlikely heroes all around him, Lucas is forced to decide how much he is willing to risk to make the most courageous rescue of all.

Perfect for fans of Ross Montgomery, Phil Earle and Michael Morpurgo, this incredible story told in short chapters, illuminates a little-known aspect of World War II history.
