I remember looking around in WHSmith looking for a good book to read because at the age of 14 and in the summer holidays, I was bored out of my brain and I wanted to get that Sex God (my boyfriend now) out of my mind. So when I spottted this book, the cover was colourful and the title seemed funny enough. I gave the book to my dad for him to purchase, worried that he might say something about the title because it sounded like a sex book for older ...
...haha. When I went to bed, I started reading the book and because it was so funny, I laughed so hard and I couldn't stop that my dad came in the room to see what was going on.

I would also ask him, why didn't you start the book, the way you ended it? A few people would give up because they thought it was boring, and stop reading. I would ask: Why did you decide to write a book about this particular topic? Do you enjoy learning about the war? I would, also ask Michael Morpurgo about how he found ... Read review
