Reviews

[Sarah]

I found this book very interesting and I learned a lot. I loved that it covered a range of perspectives and that it gave a few pages of factual information between the stories. I thought the book flowed well.

Oh my god if you like stories from the First World War, you will enjoy this, it’s written through the eyes of teenagers from true accounts

[Jenna Mills]

A pretty good way to easily access some of the main events of ww1.

[Sue Mitchison]

A good read aloud for letting children know about many aspects of the war from many sides and different countries. Will definitely read parts or all of this to my class this term.
