Powerful, emotional, and unforgettable — A Medal for Leroy by Michael Morpurgo is a moving story of friendship, courage, and the forgotten heroes of war. Set in the Second World War, this deeply touching novel follows two boys from different backgrounds whose lives become connected by loyalty and loss.

As the story unfolds through memories and discoveries, readers learn about Leroy’s bravery and the injustice of how his heroism was ignored because of prejudice and unfairness. Through gentle storytelling, Morpurgo highlights how race, war, and friendship collide, leaving lasting emotional impact.

With simple language and deep meaning, the novel explores honour, sacrifice, identity, equality, and remembrance. It encourages young readers to understand the importance of kindness, truth, and standing up for what is right.
