Full of adventure and friendship, sorrow and joy this story has lost none of its charm in the thirty years since it was first published - I would most definitely recommend this book.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We also have a review of Magorian's [[Smile by Michelle Magorian and Sam Usher|Smile by Michelle Magorian]].
Further reading suggestion: For another great story by Michelle Magorian try [[Just Henry by Michelle Magorian|Just Henry]]. You might also enjoy [[Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo]].
