  Village newcomer Alex must vanquish a vicious feathered foe to finally feel at home in this madcap caper from comedy genius and bestselling author Jo Simmons. 
  Alex is not happy that his family are moving to the village of Noggings. He’s even less happy when he discovers that Noggings is under siege from a vicious jackdaw called Graham who has been dive-bombing kids in the school playground and terrorising locals. Surely, it’s only a matter of time before Alex himself is targeted. But can he defend himself against the flapping fiend and learn what’s really behind these angry avian attacks? 
  This is a story of a teenage boy's reluctant journey in a new village. The young adult fiction is filled with humorous moments, emotional themes, and a daily battle against a terrorising jackdaw. It's a short, yet captivating tale of friendship and courage. 
  For fans of Danny Wallace (The Boss of Everyone), Liz Pichon (Top of the Class), Jeff Kinney (The Deep End), Katie Kirby (The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks), and Larry Hayes (How to be a Kid Boss).

  Artem lives in the sleepy city of Stalingrad, which has mostly been cut off from war with Nazi Germany—until the summer of 1942. That July, martial law is declared as the Nazis begin their unprecedented march toward the city. Artem's older brother is a soldier in Stalin's Red Army, so Artem is worried for his brother's safety once he and his family have evacuated the city. 
   
   
   
  Then the announcement comes. Stalin has ordered that no civilians be allowed to leave Stalingrad. The city which bears his name is an important symbol, and the Red Army believe that the soldiers defending it will fight all the harder if their families' lives are at stake. 
   
   
   
  Artem and his new friend Yuna are put to work shoring up the city's defenses, digging trenches and building fortifications. Then, on August 23rd, the bombing begins. A massive German air raid reduces most of the city to rubble. With Stalingrad blockaded by both the Germans and their own government, escape from the coming battle seems all but impossible . . .
