Description
Sixteen-year-old Will from Newcastle arrives in Spain in 1936, when the country is engulfed by Civil War. He is fiercely Republican, but he finds his allies are disorganized, ill-equipped and untrained, but he is inspired by their courage and optimism, qualities which will help him in the months of fighting that lie ahead.
