FRIDAY 30th OCTOBER

The Children of WWI. Age 8-teen(ish). £5 for under 22s (and £12.50 for adults)
How do you survive when the world goes to war around you? Meet Lotte, a Belgian girl fleeing a destroyed farm; Ernst, a teenage German soldier trapped in the trenches; and Khudadad Khan, the legendary Indian gunner fighting a war thousands of miles from home. Trapped on a dangerous battlefield ridge, these very different young people are about to cross paths. Join Nero Book Award-winner Jamila Gavin for a gripping journey into the First World War, inspired by the incredible true story of Khudadad Khan, the first Indian soldier to win the Victoria Cross for bravery. Includes a reading, Q&A, and book signing at Octavia’s Bookshop.
