**Falling Into Glory by Robert Westall - Preloved Paperback** Robert Westall strikes again with this gripping young adult war novel that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about heroism. When young Robbie discovers his grandfather's secret WWII past, he's thrust into a world where moral lines blur faster than you can say "conscientious objector." This isn't your typical glory-of-war story – Westall digs deep into themes of courage, family secrets, and what it really means to be brave. Perfect for teens who've outgrown straightforward adventure tales and adults who appreciate nuanced historical fiction without the stuffiness. Westall, master of British young adult literature and Carnegie Medal winner, delivers another emotionally charged narrative that refuses to spoon-feed easy answers. Think coming-of-age meets wartime drama with zero sugar-coating. This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks (ISBN: 9780749717551) has stories to tell beyond its pages. *"Westall never talks down to his readers - brilliant storytelling."* *"Made me cry and think in equal measure. Powerful stuff."*
