Written for 9-to-12-year-olds, this illustrated children's story introduces the subject of memory loss. A group of three boys, together with a newly arrived Polish girl, discover that an old lady in a care home has flown aeroplanes during the war. Their interest, together with their access to the internet, bring the old lady's memories flooding back - with a delightful outcome. The book is honest about the challenges that memory loss can pose, with ups and downs in the story. The relationships between the young people are complicated at times, but ultimately this is a tale of developing appreciation and friendship between people of the same and of very different generations.
