New title from Soldier Dog author with much appeal to Morporgo fans. Great writing, heroic animals and wartime adventure. * The Bookseller's Buyers Guide *
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. -- Reader Review * First News *
By combining real historical events with the interplay between child and beast, Angus has hit a formula that resonates with children from all backgrounds. * The Telegraph *
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. * Lancashire Evening Post *
I gave the book five out of five because of the front cover and also because of the characters.
I think the book cover looks very sad. Because the person who has drawn it has used nice dark shades. To make you think that it is very sad
* Schools Book Club *
An entertaining read and the inclusion of emotional letters from father to son brings the story to life and will melt the hardest heart * The Guardian Children's Books *
