  A powerful, moving adventure inspired by the extraordinary true story of the French Drummer Boy of Waterloo, COBWEB is a stunning tale of courage and kindness – a book about humanity, animals, and the heartbreak of war, from a writer at the height of his powers.  
  'Thank goodness for Michael Morpurgo' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Telegraph 
  'Moving, unique and utterly charming. This is why Michael Morpurgo is the nation's favourite storyteller' Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear 
  “They call me Cobweb. I’ll tell you why later. I may be a dog, but I know and understand a lot more than people think I do.” 
  Britain. 1815. After years of loss and sacrifice, the end of the war with Napoleon is approaching. 
  Cobweb knows nothing of the war – he loves being a young puppy and playing with his owner, Bethan, exploring the countryside and chasing rabbits. 
  But when he is taken away from Bethan and sold, Cobweb must learn to become a Drover’s Dog – herding sheep and cattle for hundreds of miles on the long, treacherous journey to London. 
  And after the Napoleonic wars finally come to an end with the Battle of Waterloo, Cobweb meets an unexpected stranger with an incredible tale to tell on his journey home … 
  As a best-seller, Cobweb by Michael Morpurgo is a historical fiction that captivates the reader with its unique perspective of a dog's life during the Napoleonic wars. The story, filled with military undertones and a deep understanding of animals, is a top pick for juvenile readers. 
  For fans of S. E. Hinton (S.E. Hinton's The Puppy Sister #0), Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), Katherine A. Applegate (The Predator), and Elizabeth Laird (Song of the Dolphin Boy).

  Journeys in Time: The History of...

  We take time for granted as it passes during every moment of our existence. Other things may change, but time remains constant and predictable. The past, the present, and the future exist within a harmonious, reliable, and never-changing system. Or at least that’s how it seems… 
  It was Albert Einstein who, in 1905, first theorized that time might not be quite as straightforward as that. In one of the most influential papers on physics ever published, he proposed something called “time dilatation.” This suggested that time was neither fixed nor constant and that the passage of time was related to the relative speed of the observer.  
  Long before the advent of modern science and Einstein's theory of relativity, people have contemplated time traveling, and there are still debates about the concept today. During the 20th century, new theories of the multiverse suggested that our world isn’t discrete and separate but perhaps one of an unimaginable number of other universes, separated by membranes that may be possible to see or even pass through. These ideas are difficult to grasp, but as theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg put it succinctly, “Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think.”  
  Despite so many popular depictions in literature and movies, it is widely assumed that nobody has built a working time machine, but ordinary people have insisted that they’ve experienced odd events during which they found themselves in another time. Some of these experiences have been reported by seemingly rational individuals, and some have involved more than one witness. The conventional view is that all these people are either deluded or mistaken, even though others have found some of these accounts strangely compelling.
