Discover the incredible true story of Judy, the only dog officially registered as a prisoner of war, in this moving new picture book by bestselling author Tom Palmer and illustrator Carolina Rabei.

Each £5 ticket includes a paperback copy of War Dog, published by Scholastic and available from 14th August.
