Five Children on the Western Front

In this middle-grade adventure, the sand fairy Psammead reappears in the Lamb family's garden during World War I, pulling the siblings and their friend Edith back into its magical world. The fairy's wish-granting powers send them across the front lines and the home front, letting them experience the war through soldiers, civilians, and their own families. As they grapple with loss, responsibility, and the consequences of their wishes, the children must protect those they love while confronting the harsh realities of the Great War.
