Starfire
Sixty years ago the Starfire was tested above the skies of Southern England. Revolutionary in design, it was Britain’s contribution to the space race. Today, it is just a footnote in out-of-print books. The airfields of the New Forest have vanished; the once proud space pioneers now a dwindling group of old men.
David Sherman dreams of becoming an astronaut. Nearing the end of his first year at Forest Park School, his days are filled with evading the bullies, staying out of trouble with the teachers, and trying to talk to Miriam without his tongue tying in knots. To him, the old pilots he meets are the stuff of legends; echoes of a simpler time, when anything was possible.
What he discovers hidden in the forest will change his life forever. He will learn what it means to be young, to have dreams, to be a hero. In the end, everything is real…if you believe it.
