What is Harry Miller's Run about?

Liam is eager to train for the Junior Great North Run, but first he must help his mam clear out old Harry’s house. Harry has a story to tell: as a boy in 1938, he and three friends ran all the way from Newcastle to South Shields. Through blazing sunshine, clattering boots, seaside air and plenty of unexpected help, their thirteen-mile journey becomes an unforgettable adventure. As Liam listens, he discovers that running is about more than speed—it is also about friendship, courage and happiness.
