Summary

Tom Palmer celebrates the unsung athletic heroes of the Armistice in a powerful intergenerational tale of the fell-running messengers on the front-line of war. 
Lily has lots of worries. She's struggling to compete in her fell-running races and, worse, she's losing her gran to Alzheimer's. But then she discovers her great-great-grandfather's diaries from the First World War. Could his incredible story of bravery help her reconnect with her gran and even give her the inspiration she needs to push through and win? 
The Armistice Runner is a testament to the power of stories, the thrill of sports, and the bonds of family. This award-winning book, hailed as one of the best in juvenile and young adult fiction, takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from the battlefields of Europe to the challenging world of fell-running races. 
For fans of Matt Oldfield (Lewandowski), Jeff Kinney (Diary of a Wimpy Kid), Martin Smith (The Football Superstar), Dan Freedman (Jamie Johnson), and Marta Kissi (Mummy Fairy and Me).
