Until the Road Ends is the eagerly awaited novel from the bestselling author of When the Sky Falls, which won The Times Children's Book of the Year and the British Book Award and was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal.
When Peggy saves a stray dog from near-death, a beautiful friendship begins. Nothing can come between them – until war is declared.
Peggy is evacuated to safety, but Beau is left behind in London, where he becomes the most unexpected of war heroes. Night after night, as bombs rain down and lives are destroyed, Beau searches the ruins of the city, rescuing countless survivors.
But then tragedy strikes and Beau must set off on an incredible journey to find his beloved Peggy …
