{"product_id":"9780702303180","title":"Please Write Soon: The Unforgettable Story of Two Cousins in World War II by Michael Rosen","description":"       Named Children's Book of the Week by The Times!      Inspired by a true family story, Michael Rosen presents      an astonishing account of perseverance, love and hope in wartime.         Beginning in 1939, young Solly in London exchanges      letters with his teenaged cousin, Bernie, in Poland.         While Solly is evacuated and tries his best to      adjust to life in the English countryside, Bernie's parents know      that as Jews they're not safe staying in Warsaw, so they send Bernie      to the Russian-occupied side of the country in the hope that      he'll be safer there.         Soon, though, he is arrested and sent off to a forced      labour camp in Russia.         As the cousins exchange sporadic letters, they try to keep their      spirits up, trading jokes and observations about the world changing      all around them.         Then Bernie seizes the opportunity to join the 'Anders      Army' and fight the Axis powers, and tells Solly all about      his experiences in Iraq and eventually Italy, where he fights      alongside the British at the famous Battle of Monte Cassino.         Does Bernie survive and find a safe place to call home?            With breathtaking illustrations by beloved illustrator Michael      Foreman, this is an unforgettable story of courage      and love, perfect for the whole family to share.         Michael Rosen is one of the best-known figures in the children's      book world, known for his work as poet and author of classic      books such as WE'RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT.         This book is a perfect companion to POPPY FIELD by Michael Morpurgo      and Michael Foreman. Together, the books are a wonderful introduction      to the history of the great wars of the 20th century      and the importance of Remembrance.                ;  80 pages; Published: 07\/04\/2022\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9780702303180\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scholastic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457026896254,"sku":"9780702303180","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9780702303180.jpg?v=1761330824","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9780702303180","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
