* Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant * A gripping mystery, overflowing with heart - The Valley of Lost Secrets is one of the very best books I've read this year. There's a cracking mystery at the centre of it, but it was the Welsh backdrop and Jimmy's journey to acceptance that stayed in my heart long after I'd closed the book. * Anna Fargher, author of The Umbrella Mouse * A story of friendship, love, loss and belonging of looking at people deep past their exterior, and of the love and pain in a human heart. I loved it with all my heart * Liz Hyder, author of Bearmouth * An evacuee story with all the makings of a classic. A celebration of kindness and friendship at a time of upheaval, it's gripping, heart-breaking and yet full of hope. * Emma Carroll, author of Letters from the Lighthouse * Evocative and heartfelt, The Valley of Lost Secrets already reads like a classic.
This story is quietly brutal and brilliantly heartfelt.
With echoes of Carrie's War, and Goodnight Mister Tom, Parr brings her own fresh voice to what already feels like a wartime classic.
