He then trained as a drama therapist and worked in a therapeutic community in south London, caring for traumatized and abused adolescents. After a couple of years in the care sector, Phil chose the more sedate lifestyle of a bookseller, and now works in children's publishing.

Can a boy possibly save the animals and lead them all to the promised land? A thrilling of adventure involving a stolen ark, a motley crew of animals and a crashed Spitfire, from award-winning author, Phil Earle.

'Don't let anything happen to her, you hear?' September 1939. Britain is on the brink of war, and as his dad marches off to fight, Noah makes him a promise: to keep their beloved family dog safe. When the government advises people to have their pets put down in readiness for the chaos of war, hundreds of thousands of people do as they are told. But not Noah. He’s not that sort of boy. With his two friends in tow, he goes on the run, to save his dog and as many animals as he can. No matter what.
