While the Storm Rages is an exciting wartime story of a boy called Noah, who is determined to save as many pets as possible from war consequences.

This book is full of unexpected friendships and Clem, Noah and Col are all amazingly brave and enduring. While the Storm Rages is also full of great pets including an old dog named Frank and loyal Winn; two exceptionally brave dogs.

I would recommend this to all pet lovers.
