A Somerset author has released the sequel to her popular time-travel adventure novel.
Cherry Cobb’s new book, Will’s War: A Glitch in Time, takes readers on a high-stakes journey through time and technology.
The story, released on Thursday, March 27, coincides with VE Day celebrations.
The plot follows Will and his friends from the Second World War, who find themselves trapped in a digital world.
Cherry Cobb, who released her first novel Will's War in 2018, introduces readers to Will, a young boy who time travels to London during the Blitz.
The new book picks up where Will’s War left off, with Will in modern-day London, reunited with his friends from the past due to a "glitch".
Cherry says she was inspired by her own children using technology to bond.
She said: "The gaming world seemed a great place to explore that dynamic.
"It’s important to remind young readers of the past, that’s what shapes our future.
"I think we are losing direct connection to wartime memories, especially as we lose the older generation.
"However, the Second World War is still an option on the national curriculum, so hopefully kids will continue to learn about how people managed through such difficult times."
Will’s War: A Glitch in Time is distributed by the Books Council of Wales and is available at most bookshops.
