This is a captivating story that intertwines the lives of those from contrasting worlds-one of aristocratic privilege and the other of humble beginnings-woven together by friendship, love and mystery amidst the backdrop of World War II.

At the start of the war, Titus, a boy from a prestigious school and heir to an aristocrat's fortune, is sent to the safety of the countryside. In this quiet haven, he meets two boys from modest backgrounds, and together they embark on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery and adventure.

The boys experience a world of wildflowers, rolling hills and the freedom to roam. In this idyllic setting, Roly faces the mysteries of love, and is drawn into the secrets surrounding a girl whose intoxicating scent hides a dark and unexpected origin.

At the war end, Roly and his friends reluctantly return to their urban lives, but not before exposing the mystery behind the elusive 'Gang of the North' and confronting the bittersweet realities of growing up.

The Boy from Dickend Farm is a story rich in wit and layered with tender moments, exploring themes of identity, friendship, love, and the secrets that shape us. With its blend of humour and heart, it's a coming-of-age tale that will keep you hooked until the very last page.
