Father Albert Hublet was a Belgian Jesuit who wrote children novels. In this book, Father Hublet created the character, Bernard. Young Bernard was separated from his parents and relatives while fleeing the German invasion of Belgium. He was picked up by a British commando unit led by Lieutenant Frank Goodheart. Lieutenant Goodheart promises to help the young boy find his family, but events take a sudden turn and the unit is forced to return to England. Bernard goes with them. As a little “daredevil,” he wins the hearts of the unit’s rough men and joins them in palpitating adventures – parachute jumps, perilous expeditions and much more! Despite the passing time and his adventures, Bernard has not forgotten his parents. He always asks whether they are still alive and whether will he ever see them again. Bernard believes that Frank is a man of his word, but will the Lieutenant be able to work a miracle? This book is for children 12 years and up.
