The Kingdom by the Sea is The Guardian award-winning novel about courage, friendship, and war.
When a bomb during an air raid destroys Harry's home and kills his family, he knows that he is all alone in the world and has only himself to rely on. Anxious that he will be sent to live with his fussy Cousin Elsie, he goes on the run across the war-battered land of North East England. His only friend in this journey is a stray dog that he meets on the beach.
Will Harry ever find a place to call home again, or will he be on the run forever?
