White Feather is an imaginative, fast moving story of intrigue, growing up and lust for adventure in the 1940s, as a group of school age children deal with the conflicts of war and the hidden moral messages that spring up into their lives when they least expect it. A child's world is his own and as the prospect of danger and excitement creep into their small village of Cumbria, it proves to be an adventure that is too tempting to ignore. Cram packed full of fast moving twists, hidden secrets, and daring challenges, the children must learn to deal with the consequences of war, and the strong bond of friendship that holds them together as they attempt to solve the secrets of 'The man in the woods'.
