Fantastic read! Gripping story and amazing illustrations.
Vedang Singhal –
A decent read. Not the best Michael Morpurgo book I’ve read. The war scenes felt a bit rushed and underdeveloped.

While the story is touching, it might be too sad for some children. The historical context is important, but be prepared for sensitive content.

A mixed bag. Good, but not Morpurgo’s best work.
