    The Skylarks War by Hilary McKay

    Often at that time of year, you could hear skylarks over fields. Soldiers remarked how strange it was that the birds should be there, but in fact the birds had been there for centuries. The really strange thing was that the soldiers were there. Another thing that people thought odd was that the skylarks sang in the language of their homes. In English for the English, in French for the French, and in Dutch for the Dutch. More puzzling still, on the other side of the trenches, a few miles away, the skylarks were singing in German. It was a war where absolutely nothing made sense.

    When the Sky Falls by Phil Earle

    It would be wrong, a lie to say that Joseph had never felt pain like it. He’d felt it years ago, as sharp and debilitating as it was now.

    Jummy At The River School by Sabine Adeyinka

    The glorious June sunshine sprawled through the window and soaked Jummy’s face. At first, she didn’t know where she was. Then she saw beautiful, slender mahogany trees with emerald branches waving from each side. The smells of fresh air, jollof rice and mango wafted up her nose. Where was she? Then, she heard a voice: ‘Jummy, wake up my friend!’It was Tope. She knew where she was. She was at the River School.
