The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Pax delivers an unforgettable WWII novel about an orphan who discovers unexpected courage when he becomes involved with the Resistance in France during Occupation.
"A beautiful story of bravery and resistance. The Lions' Run reminds us that, more than size or strength, heroism begins with heart." RUTA SEPTYS, international bestselling author of Between Shades of Gray
"Tremendous... a vivid, enthralling novel." THE OBSERVER
Petit éclair. That's what the other boys at the orphanage call Lucas. He's tired of his cowardly reputation, just as he's tired of the war and the Nazi occupation of his village. He longs to show how brave he can be.
The chance arrives when he saves a litter of kittens from cruel boys and cares for them in an abandoned stable. There he meets Alice, the daughter of a horse trainer, who is hiding her beloved young horse from
German soldiers.
Soon Lucas begins to realise they are not the only ones in the village with secrets. The housekeeper at the German maternity home and a priest at the orphanage pass coded messages; a young mother at the home makes dangerous plans to keep her baby from forced adoption; and a neighbour in town may be harbouring a Jewish family.
Emboldened by the unlikely heroes all around him, Lucas is forced to decide how much he is willing to risk to make the most courageous rescue of all.
Perfect for fans of Ross Montgomery, Phil Earle and Michael Morpurgo, this incredible story told in short chapters, illuminates a little-known aspect of World War II history. Featuring a beautiful cover and map illustrated by highly acclaimed artist and 2026 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award Laureate, Jon Klassen.

批評家のレビュー
Tremendous... a vivid, enthralling novel.
The Lion's Run is a tender and illuminating novel that celebrates the courage of children
With a tight plot and young characters who actively resist and thwart the Nazis while remaining tenderhearted, The Lion's Run is sure to delight readers ages 8-12 as well as their teachers
Written in sparing, evocative prose, it is accessible enough for the middle-grade target audience, while offering much thought-provoking content for older readers, exploring ideas of courage, integrity and the bonds between people and animals... a book to read and share and talk about - historical fiction at its best. Chilling, breath-taking and ultimately hopeful
A powerful story of heroism and the importance of standing up for what is right
With poignant and moving storytelling, this is a narrative that will stay with the reader long after they finish
Superb
Pennypacker's illuminating and stirring historical fiction will leave middle grade readers feeling deeply inspired, righteously angry and firmly resolved
The Lion's Run will likely leave readers with big thoughts about courage and the ways we respond to injustice and atrocities
Pennypacker returns with another gorgeously written adventure, exploring friendships between humans and animals, resistance and courage. This is a well-researched book, steeped in historical detail which provides an interesting perspective likely to broaden young readers' view of who was involved during the war and how.
