The stifling heat of a summer’s day lures four children to the cool green waters of the river that runs between Cheadle Manor and The Katherine Wheel Garage. Al captains the little band of pirates as they blithely board the wooden dinghy. Headstrong Lottie vies with him to be in charge while Isobel tries to keep the peace and look after little Lily. But it is the river that is really in control. Lost and alone, the four children have to face many dangers, but it is the unforeseen consequences of their innocent adventure that will shape their future for years to come.
Book Four of The Katherine Wheel Series may be small in size but it packs in many surprises for the children of Katy and Jem and Douglas and Cassandra. Willow bridges the generation gap between the last three books, Daffodils, Peace Lily and Speedwell, and Book Five, Woodbine, when the four children are on the brink of both adulthood and the outbreak of the Second World War. The series will conclude with the sixth book, Ivy, in the most surprising way, as the war draws to its agonising conclusion. For fans of historical fiction and Alex Martin's work in particular, Willow makes the most perfect stocking filler!
