Reviews

New title from Soldier Dog author with much appeal to Morporgo fans. Great writing, heroic animals and wartime adventure.
This book is full of suspense, sorrow and mystery. If you like books like War Horse then you will enjoy this book. I really enjoyed this story and really identified with the characters.
By combining real historical events with the interplay between child and beast, Angus has hit a formula that resonates with children from all backgrounds.
Immaculately researched and based on true events, Angus's novel has all the warmth, charm and poignancy of The Railway Children and is a wonderful addition to children's wartime classic fiction.
