I would recommend this book but some bits are sad.

I love this book! It's really good but its ending is so sad. My favourite character is either Molly or Big Joe. Charlie is closely after them because of his undying love for his little brother, which ended up killing him. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, but it has a very sad ending.

This was a really good book. I learnt a lot about World War One and the impact it had on people’s lives. My favourite character was Charlie as he was so brave to take the firing squad to save his little brother

I liked it but it was sad. I feel like Michael Murpurgo should have made the beginning bit longer and developed what was about to change his life. I would recommend this book to someone who is interested in the war.

I found the book very sad and there were parts of the book that I didn’t get answers to.

This was brilliant. It is now one of my favourite books. I felt disappointed for the characters and empathised with their situations. I was engrossed.

It was very emotional and I really felt the main character Thomas but Charlie and Molly were certainly lovely characters. It left me on a cliff hanger and now I reslly want to know what happens next. I most definately recommend reading it.
