The Welsh valleys, It is late 1939 the war with Germany has just been announced. Iolo Pritchard is just 10 years old and has not yet grasped the complexity of war, but very soon he will be drawn into situations beyond his boyish years. His contemporaries are his school friends and an adult, Morgy the Moon a learning difficulties sufferer. The group of wartime children have exhilarating adventures. Morgy is known for sitting on the village square staring up at the heavens at night. One night he happens to see something but when Morgy reports his sightings no one believes him save for his friends, Iolo Pritchard (pronounced Yollow) Will' Probert, Big Bob, and Billy Richards a boy with a negative outlook on life. The gang of schoolchildren explore Morgy's revelations and discover that he was correct and did see something up in the heavens.

The hunt for the Shenkin family takes the gang on a spiralling course of twists and turns as they hunt for the elusive treasure brought about by Morgy finding a bottle with a message in the Black River.
