|comment= Honestly I loved this book it was amazing and interesting its counted as one of my favorites. I chose this book for an English class for my senior year in High School at Gallup High School in Gallup, New Mexico. And I am still doing research on this book for my book report which is worth half of my grade. But just my comments I love it.. its an inspiration and gives a good outlook on what the meaning of family really is.

|comment= The way I rad it, Tommo is sitting in a barn, alone,reflecting on his life,unwilling to sleep. The reasons for the location and his determination to remain awake throughout the night only become apparentat the end of the book. Morpurgo succeeds in keeping us wondering throughout the book.
Both of my grandfathers fought in WW1, one at Ypres and the other in the Somme. My mother's father had trench foot and my father's father joined The Black Watch - also lieing about his age -16. He was wounded in the side by a bayonett. Like Charlie, he was sent back to the trenches on recovery.
The whole family has enjoyed this book - from ages 12 to 85!

|comment= i chose this book to read for an assignment in history class and i'm glad i
did. following the story of Tommo's life, feeling the love, the hate, the
pain, the joy. it all felt so real. i loved it. it was an inspirational
novel and it was very interesting but at the same time very easy to follow.
Michael Morpurgo, you've done an amazing job.
