James Holland writes first YA novel
James Holland is one of our most prolific writers, having written thirteen books over the past eight years. His writing encompasses six acclaimed histories of World War II, as well as two stand-alone novels and the incredibly successful Jack Tanner series. Now, he is branching out into Young Adult novels, with Duty Calls: Dunkirk.
Friday 24th May, 1940
Private Johnny Hawke, aged sixteen, awakens to artillery fire.
Hours later, Stukas scream down from the sky. Messerschmit fighters roar towards his regiment. Trucks burst into flames.
Now men and mules lay dead and dying, severed limbs twisted grotesquely as blood soaks the cobbled streets.
Young Private Hawke just wants to do his duty and serve his country. But as he – and his fellow soldiers – prepare to stop the German advance, there’s only one question on everyone’s lips.
How will they survive?
Published by Puffin, the book will be available in bookshops from 2nd June. You can pre-order it from Amazon and Waterstones.
