A thrilling WWII adventure that
reimagines the evacuation of Dunkirk... with dragons!
May 10, 1940
Everyone in Iris's small English
village avoids the dragon in the woods. Everyone, that is, except for Iris. She
knows Galahad would never hurt her--she's been caring for the dragon since he
lost his mother when he was a baby. When Galahad is accused of stealing
military rations, Iris strikes a bargain that will spare Galahad's life... but
send him off to the war brewing in Europe. Soon after, she receives news that
her brother is among the troops trapped in France by the advancing German
troops. Refusing to give up hope, Iris devises a desperate plan that will
either save both her brother and her best friend--or end in disaster.
Meanwhile in Belgium, Max's school
day is abruptly interrupted by some terrifying news: The Germans have invaded
his country. He and his grandmother are forced to flee for their lives west
toward France where they hope to find safety. But when they are separated after
a German attack, Max must continue the treacherous journey on his own.
Across hundreds of miles, the stories
of Iris and Max steadily converge toward an explosive conclusion that will
change them both forever. Along the way, they each must find the inner strength
and resolve--the valor--to do the impossible. Author Sam Subity blends history
and fantasy to tell a story like no other--an exhilarating adventure about the
power of friendship, hope, and courage.
My Review:
Valor Wings is my first introduction to the writings of Sam Subity. I am not a huge fan of fantasy fiction, however, I am a huge historical fiction fan. I was instantly curious when I came across this book and wanted to see how the author would make these two genres work together. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised and greatly enjoyed this tale. It was a fun and entertaining adventure to me.
I am giving Valor Wings four and a half stars. I believe historical fantasy fans of thirteen years old and up will greatly enjoy it. I would love to read more books like this from the talented author, Sam Subity, in the future.
I received a copy of Sam Subity's Valor Wings from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
About Sam Subity:
Sam Subity loves writing stories that explore the magic and wonder of
being a kid and is thrilled to share his debut novel with readers everywhere --
both the young in age and the young at heart. When he's not writing, you might
find him running the trails of Northern California, where the endless, winding
miles past fog and ocean inspire stories of adventure and mystery. Or he might
be mowing his lawn. Because that's what adults sometimes have to do. But in
either case, he's very likely imagining himself fighting mythical creatures or
at the prow of a Viking dragon ship, feeling the wind and sea spray on his
face. His greatest hope is that in reading this book, you too were in some
small way transported to another place where for a little while you could exchange
the ordinary for the extraordinary.
