At the start of this book I didn’t find the plot that interesting but as I carried on reading it, it got better and better and I really enjoyed it.

This book is amazing it is highly recommended for kids over 6 because it does have some smoking that some parents may not like there children reading when they are six or under. It also may scare some children because there’s a ghost that was executed and that comes up quite a lot in the story. If you like scary and comedy and fantasy then this is your book.

It was quite funny, and I liked the aspect of Bess having a ghost friend. It wasn't my ideal book as it didn't have any cats in, apart from the one Humph chased.

It is a pleasure to read this amazing book. What really interested me was that there were all kinds of acts in one book. That surely is some talent. Emotional, funny, adventurous I can probably use all those words to describe this book. I liked Will the best. He is really good.

I enjoyed this book so much that I didn’t hear my mum tell me to turn my light off and go to bed. My favourite character is definitely Walter he is very friendly and is a mystery until further into the books. Why he stole the Crown Jewels still baffles me and also why he put them in a young girls room wow That’s also why it interested me. I would 10000% recommend this book to someone else.

Walter helps Elizabeth's family hugely and he is kind and compassionate. Even though he can do a few mistake, he is an amazing friend to have. It was fiction and Walter was my favourite character because he was an amazing friend. I would reccomend it to everyone as it is such an interesting story.

I like Bess the most of the characters because she is most a quite gentle and an interesting girl.

Michael Morpurgo made this book weave its magic around me and forced me to read on. I was kept guessing until all the secrets were revealed at the end. My favourite character was Walter and I recommend it to anyone interested in Tudor history and a good mystery novel.

This story was based around a story of Sir Walter Raleigh and I found it fascinating.
