I recently received some vouchers for my birthday - best present I can ever get! And so I decided to go on a bit of a Michael Morpurgo Blitz. Starting with this book, I'm aiming to read about five of his over the next few weeks. And this was a good start. It is a highly unusual story, and when Christopher revealed his 'true' identity I thought 'Oh, Please!'. But I'm so glad I kept on reading as by the end of the book I was captivated.
I would agree with some of the reviews I've read that the story is at times slow moving, but the characters make up for this. A highly enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to more!
