Turned away by his own son, Cessie’s long-lost grandfather ends up in the very place he fears most: a nursing home called Shangri-La. Only Cessie truly loves him, and she’s determined to help him escape and finally piece together the truth of his past – a past that surfaces only in fragments: a lifeboat, a tin of condensed milk, a terrifying night on the beaches of Dunkirk during World War II … A gripping, heartfelt war story from Britain’s best-loved children’s author, Michael Morpurgo, Escape from Shangri-La is a tale of strife and loss in World War II from the former Children’s Laureate and award-winning author of War Horse – once again proving why he’s considered the master storyteller.
