About this audiobook
A stunning and moving novel from Michael Morpurgo, the nation’s favourite storyteller – featuring the bravest dog in all the world…

But when Aman and his mother finally decide to make a bid for freedom, the dog Aman has called Shadow will not leave their side. Soon it becomes clear: the destinies of boy and dog are linked, and always will be…

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Peter Harding joins HM Submarine Shadow as Number 1 and discovers it is not a happy ship because of an unlikable commander. After showing his competence during a successful sinking of two submarines on the same shoot, his captain is impressed. Under a new captain, the ship turns itself around and joins convoy duty, attacks an enemy decoy ship and shoots up a Nazi base in Norway.As with a Reman vovel, there is much detail about living on and sailing a submarine. First rate if you like the genre.o
