Secret Soldiers

A Novel of World War I

De: Keely Hutton

Narrado por: Raphael Corkhill

Over a quarter million underage British boys fought on the Allied front lines of the Great War, but not all of them fought on the battlefield—some fought beneath it, as revealed in this middle-grade historical adventure about a deadly underground mission.

Secret Soldiers follows the journey of Thomas, a thirteen-year-old coal miner, who lies about his age to join the Claykickers, a specialized crew of soldiers known as “tunnelers,” in hopes of finding his missing older brother. Thomas works in the tunnels of the Western Front alongside three other soldier boys whose constant bickering and inexperience in mining may prove more lethal than the enemy digging toward them. But as they burrow deeper beneath the battlefield, the boys discover the men they hope to become and forge a bond of brotherhood.

Secret Soldiers is another stunning story of strength, perseverance, and love from Keely Hutton.

I love this book!

I read most of the book on paper but also listened to parts of it on audio, this book is amazing. It is one of my favorite war books I have ever read. It brings in a whole new perspective I would never have thought of, and the characters are amazing! Keely Hutton really brings you into the personal lives of so many characters. This book will make you laugh, cry, smile, and tell all your family and friends to read it as well!
