I really liked Tommo because he had a great personality. But I also loved Charlie because he was really protective and caring to Tommo. I wouldn't recommend it to younger people because it's quite sad although older people would enjoy it.

This was a outstanding story that touched my heart. The hardships that they endured showed me how strong they are, fighting in the war. This book in my opinion was the best Michael morpurgo book I’ve ever read.

'It was a creative, emotional rollercoaster, butterflies woven through the story, like a ribbon, tying it all together. There were some very beautiful descriptions. I found it a very satisfying read.'

This book had me crying but I really enjoyed it. It's the story of a boy called Thomas Peaceful growing up and ending up fighting in the First World War. It shows all the different emotions of a child from sadness to happiness, love to hate. I would recommend it to people who like history and heartwarming stories with an extremely deep meaning. Michael Morpurgo is a very good writer with a variety of styles but this is one of my favourites. This is a must read for 12-16 year olds but keep the tissues handy!

Terrible book

16 Aug 2016

this book is so emotional because of all the things that happen to this boy. the characters are so different and they make me feel unusual. never in my life have i experienced, in a book, such emotion from a character. this boy has a brother who gets married to the girl he loves and then they both go off to war. his brother dies and he is left with his mother and brothers wife and son.

will he get through without his brother? and will he survive war?
