Long Way Home is a heartfelt tale of an orphaned boy in search of family from War Horse author and former Children's Laureate, Michael Morpurgo. Another summer. Another foster family. George has already made up his mind to run away, back to the children’s home. None of the previous families have wanted him. Why should the Dyers be any different? But George begins to feel at ease with Tom Dyer and his sister Storme, even happy, and changes his mind. He could even feel at home with them – couldn’t he? Michael Morpurgo, demonstrates why he is considered to be the master storyteller with this book about orphans, family, love and finding a place one can call home. He has written more than one hundred books for children including An Eagle in the Snow, Listen to the Moon, Private Peaceful, and An Elephant in the Garden and won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children’s Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times.

I really enjoyed reading Long Way Home. It was about a boy called George, he was a fostered boy. He got taken to Mr and Mrs Dyers house as every year, in the Summer holiday they would foster a child. George hadn't had many good experiences with his other foster family's but this one was different. He wanted to go back there but he had to go back to the home within a week due to Mrs Dyers back. My favourite character was Storme, she really liked George and made sure he settled in well. When I started reading this book I wouldn't recommend this book but by the second chapter I had change my mind! This book is amazing, probably one of my favourites!
