Winston Churchill - Resolute

Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

Winston Churchill was born into a wealthy aristocratic family. He grew up with stories of his ancestor, John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough, who led the British army to triumph against the French and Bavarians in the War of the Spanish Succession.After serving in the British Cavalry, Winston followed his father in politics, eventually becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain as Europe descended into war once again. Before long, the British stood alone against Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. During this dark time, Winston’s leadership skills were put to the test as he encouraged his countrymen to stand firm against the would-be German invaders. Without Winston Churchill’s courage, vision, and perseverance under these extreme circumstances, the outcome of World War II might well have been very different (1874–1965).

When John wakes up one morning, he doesn’t realize his life is about to change. First, his parents are missing, the TV isn’t working, the social apps aren’t functioning, and the time doesn’t seem to change. But the strangest thing is the silence surrounding him. 
On top of that, at the edge of his neighborhood, the grass seems to be covering the street. Was it like that before? He can’t quite remember.  
It’s only when he meets up with his friends at the bus stop that he realizes that their experience mirrors his own. 
As they tried to figure out what was happening, they realized the grass was spreading. And as they decide to flee, they fear what lurks in the green.
