Media Reviews
An enjoyable adventure story. * The School Librarian *
A well-told story showing that bravery comes in many guises. * Carousel *
This is a story which would read aloud well, and raise many questions about war and those who do not believe it is right to fight. * Books For Keeps *
Not only enjoyable but also a useful way to introduce readers to aspects of WWII less prevalent in children's fiction. * The School Librarian *
(A) poignant novel. * Red House Children's Book Award, Pick of the Year *
