D-Day Dog
Jack can't wait for the school trip to the D-Day landing beaches. It's his chance to learn more about the war heroes he has always admired - brave men like his dad, who is a reserve soldier. But when his dad is called up to action and things at home spiral out of control, everything Jack believes about war is thrown into question. Finding comfort only in the presence of his loyal dog, Finn, Jack is drawn to the heart-wrenching true story of one particular D-Day paratrooper. On 6 June 1944, Emile Corteil parachuted into France with his dog, Glen - and Jack is determined to discover their fate ...

This emotional read follows a young boy called Jack. He is 11 and dreamt of owning his own pet dog. When he gets one, he's happy until he learns that his Dad is off to war and his Mum doesn't want him to go. Jack has always loved playing warfare games until his class does a project on WW2 and travel to the North French coast on a school trip. Then, he starts to question his interests and attitude towards life and the world. It was a hard-hitting read, that included lots of references to current events happening around the globe. Good for younger readers!

Another great read from Tom Palmer. An inspirational story about a school trip to Normandy and all the lessons learned about WWII, plus other major issues that are encountered on this journey.
June 5, 2019
Jack Ashville, an 11-year-old living in England, had always wanted a dog, and finally his parents had said yes. Now, except for school, he and Finn are inseparable, and Jack has worked very hard taking care of Finn and having fun with him. But Jack also loves to play video games with his dad, a soldier in the Army Reserves. Their newest video game is based on the D-Day invasion of June 6, 1944, and while his dad wants to teach Jack something about D-Day before playing, Jack just wants to get to the video game. Then, Jack learns that his father might be deployed to a war zone, and he couldn't be more excited.
At school, Jack's class is beginning to learn about the D-Day invasion of the Allies in World War II in preparation for a class trip to the beaches of Normandy, France. One of their assignments is to pick a soldier who died on D-Day and is buried in Ranville Cemetery there and learn all about them. Then, when they arrive at Ranville, each student can plant a small cross with a poppy on it on the soldier's grave.
At first, Jack is pretty gun-ho about the trip, but after hearing his parents fighting about his dad's deployment, and learning that his dad would be staying at this
grandmother's for a while, until things can be worked out, he's feeling a little deflated about everything. However, when his teacher suggests Jack research "D-Day and dogs," his enthusiasm picks up again as he's sure he's found the perfect soldier to honor.
That is until he reads about what happened to his soldier and the dog he trained to parachute out of an
airplane on D-Day. Emile Corteil was a young private in the 9th Parachute Regiment and Glen was his German Shepard. When it came time to jump, Glen got spooked by all the noise below and Emile had to literally throw him out of the plane. The jump didn't killed them, but both did die on June 6, 1944. Reading their story, Jack become so angry at what he feels is Emile's betrayal of Glen, that he subsequently refuses to go on the class trip. In fact, Jack does a complete 180° turn, now finding the reality of war to be abhorrent.
Trouble is nobody's having any of that and Jack finds himself on the bus sitting between his friend Lucas, a special needs student, and Kassandra, a girl whose family had to flee their home in Aleppo because of war. But anger causes Jack to act out and now his punishment is to sit by the bus driver, a gruff, chain-smoking old soldier, and apart from the other kids.
Needless to say, Jack's class trip is a real eye-opener for him as he learns not just about the cost of war in human life, but also comes to understand why people are willing to fight and die for what they believe, and that there is a big difference between the reality of war and war fought in a video game.

Glen in Ranville

It is interesting to read the way Palmer has brought three subsequent wars into this story. There is Jack's dad, who could be sent to fight in the war in Afghanistan, the bus driver who had fought in the Falklands War, and Kassandra, a refugee from Syria whose family lost everything, including her beloved dogs, in the fighting there. American readers may not be familiar with the Falklands war, but there is enough about it in the driver's story to understand what happened. Each one contributes to Jack's increasing understanding about war.
Palmer has poignantly captured the volatility of an 11-year-old's feelings and emotions in Jack, which run the gamut of happy, sad, angry, betrayed, and even understanding. Jack romantic, almost idealistic ideas about war come crashing down when he learns that his father actually puts his family first and being a soldier second, and those ideas seem to just spiral down as the story goes along until Jack can finally see his way to a more realistic concept of war, making this a nice coming of age story.
I have to admit, I knew nothing about paradogs until I read D-Day Dog but although found the idea interesting, I felt a big like Jack when he discovered what happened to Glen. I would definitely recommend D-Day Dog as it is a well-written contemporary story and a timely book for young readers who may be interested in WWII.

There is a recent addendum to the story of Emile Cortiel and his dog Glen. Emile and Glen were buried together in Ranville Cemetery, even though it was a breach of military rules, but as of now, there is no mention it anywhere. Now, a new British memorial is to be built to honor the men and women killed in 1944 liberating France and will include a memorial dedicated to all the animals who were killed in action during the summer of 1944, including Glen.

This is another wonderful book by Tom Palmer.
It concerns a boy, Jack, whose Dad may be going to Afghanistan as a soldier, and his new dog. Also he finds out about a soldier in World War 2 who had a war-dog. They both parachuted into enemy territory on D-Day.
The book is very gently written and is really more concerned with attitudes and tolerance and having an open mind. Through various experiences Jack learns a lot as the book goes on and becomes more sympathetic. He makes mistakes, but these are treated gently by his teacher and parents and friends.
The book also covers Syrian refugees and children with special needs and about having sympathy with these situations. It has a good ending.
I would recommend this book for all ages.

This is another short and simply written book from Tom Palmer, that nevertheless covers complex ethical themes and packs a real emotional punch.
Jack discovers that his Dad may be posted to Afghanistan on military service. He goes on a school trip to Northern France where he researches the real-life story of a solider who died with his dog during D-Day. He is forced to confront his attitude to war - both current and in the past.
There are some really emotional and thought provoking parts to this book - especially the conversations Jack has with the coach driver who is a Falklands veteran. It's not the story you might expect at first!
I'd recommend this book to Michael Morpogo fans and anyone interested in War stories.

Moving story of a boy's connection with World War II
Set in modern times D-Day Dog explores the second world war through 11-year old Jack's eyes. As he prepares to go on a school trip to Normandy he confronts the reality of war for his loved ones - his father, mother and his dog.
Cleverly plotted and surprisingly emotional this book is set to be a classic for school children everywhere.
I was leant D-Day Dog by my 12 year old nephew. Tom Palmer is my nephew's favourite author and he has read all of his books. This one is his prized possession because Tom Palmer based the story on a school trip taken by my nephew's class - Palmer accompanied the school to Normandy, using the lessons and tour as a structure for the plot. Most children don't get the opportunity to visit sites of the second world war - reading this book will help them have empathy for what happened by following Jack's story.

Tom Palmer is an author who specialises in YA fiction for reluctant readers. However, the plotline of this cleverly crafted story demonstrates that a straightforward narrative does not necessarily result in simple ideas. This is definitely a story that is meant to make young readers think about war, loyalty, and duty as well as other complex ideas.
Jack is an 11-year-old schoolboy fascinated by war and war-themed computer games. His dad is a part-time soldier who encourages his interest by playing wargames with him as a means of bonding and educating him, especially, about the second world war. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your perspective, Jack's simple and hero-inspired view of war is made complicated by his dad's assignment in Afghanistan and the opposition of his mother, a girl in his class who is a refugee from Syria and a chance meeting with an ex-soldier coach driver on a school trip to France.
His initial introduction to the real horrors of war is sparked off by a research assignment into the war experiences of Emile Cortiel and his army dog, Glen who Emile trained into being an army dog. When Jack learns that both man and dog are killed on a mission his thoughts turn immediately to the fate of the dog and how animals are unable to choose whether or not they participate in the war. He identifies his own dog Finn, who he has trained from a puppy to obey all his commands and is repulsed at the thought of having to parachute him out of a plane, like the reluctant Glen.
This is a very engaging and well-put-together read. I would particularly recommend it to teachers wanting to encourage reluctant readers to enjoy thought-provoking adventure novels which are undemanding linguistically but do not skimp on dealing with difficult ideas and experiences.

D-Day Dog is an excellent pre-teen and teen read on the role animals played in war. This particular story focuses on a young boy, Jack, who is learning about D-Day at school and who goes on a school trip to Normandy. Jack is assigned a project on the Second World War, and he ends up learning about the role of a French soldier, Emile, and his German-Shepherd, paratrooping dog, Glen. Jack also has a dog called Finn, so he feels quite strongly about Emile and Glen's story. This story is a great way for young readers to explore the many reasons: why people go to war, what people fight are fighting for, that people feel and think about war.
What I think Tom Palmer does every well everytime, is that he creates relatable teenage characters in the present day that are the conduit through which he teaches his readers about the past and the importance of the learning about the past. This book truly brings the past to life and makes history relevant, engagable, and enjoyable. Readers learn so much from these stories, but in a way that is easily digestible and where they can connect what happened in the past to what is happening in the present. I highly recommend this book for all pre-teens and teenagers.

This is the story of a boy named Jack, who is alive in the present day and very attached to his dog Finn, as he researches the story of a paratrooper with a canine companion for a school project while he is also forced to navigate changes to his family life. I thought the way in which the book explored war was really sensitive and interesting- and I loved the way it questioned the morality of the very concept of war and certain specific situations relating to, while simultaneously recognising the bravery of those who serve in the army. I also loved how much the book celebrated dogs and how what wonderful, loyal companions they are. Jack`s character development throughout was another highlight, as were the secondary characters of his friends, the bus driver and his wonderful, compassionate teacher. It was even more interesting to learn that Emile Corteil and Glen were real people and their story actually happened too, as it was an area of the war I`d never seen explored before. I definitely cried as much as I predicted I would while reading this, and it was overall a moving and compelling short read that I devoured. 4.5/5

Jack has always been proud of his father being in the army reserves and enjoys playing video war games with him. However, he soon discovers his father might be deployed to Afghanistan. This news, along with his research on a young soldier, Emile Corteil, who parachuted into enemy territory with his German Shepherd, Glen, on D-Day, and talking with Kassandra, a young Syrian refugee who lost everything including her two beloved dogs when her family escaped to the UK, Jack begins to question his previous ideas about war.
There are some thought-provoking conversations throughout this novel, especially when Jack is talking to Kassandra, his school teacher, Mr Salah, and the driver of their school bus who fought in the Falklands War. Like Jack, I too questioned the idea of dogs being parachuted out of a plane. I hate to think how fearful some of them were.
Overall, D-Day Dog was an emotional touching story for primary school readers about the importance of D-Day and the young men who gave their tomorrow so we could have our today.

A work colleague who works as a support teacher recommended this book to me, as her students had taken great interest in it. I ended up buying a whole series of Tom Palmer's books, just based on reviews/recommendations. This is the first one I have read.
I thought D-Day Dog was excellent, and would make a great class novel, sparking excellent discussion. I loved nearly everything about the story. The relatable characters, the inclusion of a student needing support - but without needing to include a diagnosis or making that the focus of the story, the non-preachy tone, the arguments between Jack's parents, Mr Salah, Kassandra and more.
The only thing I didn't love was how quickly Jack swung from one extreme viewpoint to another - but it isn't a major hindrance to the novel.
Definitely a book I will recommend to next year's readers, and which should also spark some follow-up reading of other WWII stories, animal heroes etc.

I'm a dog lover so this instantly appealed to me.
Jack has waited patiently for a dog and hasn't let his parents down, looking after and training Finn well. He is going to France on a school trip to the places associated with DDay. His teacher suggests he looks at animals in the war. He isn't happy with what he finds. But will he change his mind when on the trip.
Jack loves his family and his dog. He agrees to go on the trip, even when he has decided he doesn't really want to, because his Mum and Dad need time to make decisions that will affect them all without Jack's presence. Jack doesn't like the look of the bus driver when he first meets him..but he makes Jack think about war in a different way.
I really liked the history that was woven into this story. It was a new school book and I'll be taking it back and talking to those I really think will like it.

Jack is really proud of his dad who’s in the army reserves and he can’t wait for the school trip to France where they will get to see the WWII battlefields & cemeteries. However, when their teacher decides to make the trip come alive for them by asking them to research one of the people who were involved in the D-Day landings, it becomes a bit too real for Jack.
This is an exploration of war and our reaction to it. Tom Palmer asks some difficult questions: is it ok to play war games? Should war be glorified? How should we remember those who paid the ultimate price?

Super quick read but incredibly detailed about Jack and his friends in Year 6 who are studying the Second World War before taking a trip to the Normandy beaches. Jack has to deal with a serious rift between his Mum and Dad when his Dad reveals his army reserve unit of going to Afghanistan (pre the recent Taliban takeover). There is also a Syrian girl in Jack’s class who had to flee after the bombing of Aleppo. The balance between a reflective view of war and what’s happening today is done really well.

A lovely history lesson aimed at younger readers - a very informative ( and moving ) account of animals in war time. It also sensitively tackles more modern aspects of war , from diverse perspectives ( a Syrian refugee, an ex para who served in the Falklands, an army reservist ) A powerful message about the importance of trying to understand each other, rather than making snap judgements. Beautifully done 💟📚😄

As an army brat, I was concerned midway through the book as to the direction this book was going, but Palmer did a fantastic job in explaining the complexities of war - how it's not a game just about killing people.
I really encourage young people to read this book to decide for themselves about the necessities (or not) of war.

Seen through the eyes of Jack, this book examines the complexities of war and why soldiers choose to fight. Primarily focusing on World War II, as Jack prepares to visit the Normandy beaches with his classmates, later conflicts are also touched on and Jack comes to realise that there are no easy answers.
A touching and heart warming book that isn't afraid of tackling difficult moral dilemmas.

I really enjoyed this story. I read Stephen Ambrose's Pegasus Bridge last year and really enjoyed it, and was pleased to see that bridge discussed in this book. There are several good discussion topics in this book - why soldiers fight, Syria, how animals served in wartime, etc. Excellent read!

We loved Armistice Runner and After the War but I found this muddled, a little bit try hard at forcing the emotion and a bit of a storied mess at times. It has a very weird take on war at points as well, bordering on jingoistic. My son definitely wasn’t as invested as he was in the other two books either.
April 2, 2019
An amazing exploration of war, both past and present, which answers difficult questions about why soldiers choose to fight and die. Stories from World War 2, the Falklands and the current conflict in Syria are woven together in this sensitive little book.
June 11, 2019
Perfect, concise and balanced, contemporary yet contextual. This story is a new classic school text. A school project on D-Day and a trip to Normandy force Jack to explore his views on war. 100% relatable and in my opinion, Tom Palmer's best work to date.
January 3, 2020
Concise but full of emotion and opportunity on every page to debate the morality of war. Great to have a book about the war that is set in the present day and interwoven with threads from other conflicts. A great book for class discussion.

Storia molto commovente ma che serve a fare riflettere molto. Questo libro l'ho dovuto leggere per un progetto e potete immaginare che non essendo il mio genere non avessi delle aspettative molto alte ma non appena l'ho finito sono stata contentissima di averlo letto!! Super consigliato!

A fantastic thought provoking and emotional book. Some really good questions for the reader to ponder about war and what is right and wrong. Enjoyable read with Remembrance Day being tomorrow.

Plot driven
Quick read, probably good for Y7, but not as convincing as I’d hoped. Characters are pretty flat, although they have potential.
