The Pill Box by the River

When three friends stumble across a forgotten wartime pillbox on the banks of the River Elder, they expect an adventure. What they find is a mystery that reaches back eighty years - to a young man named Tommy Watson, who carved his name into the wall and never came home.

Determined to find out who Tommy was, Ollie, Grace and Ethan follow a trail of clues through village archives, old photographs, and the memories of those who still remember. Along the way they discover that some stories have been waiting a very long time for someone willing to listen.

Warm, thoughtful and quietly moving, The Pill Box by the River is a mystery adventure for readers aged 8-12 that celebrates local history, friendship, and the importance of not letting people be forgotten.
