I am 10 years old and this book made me cry. It is the third book in my whole life that I have given 10/10. Everyone who reads this book will love it.
It is about a horse who went to the First World War in France and tells you all the horrors that he went through. A beautiful story about friendship and courage.

'Rose Blanche' is an interesting book it leaves you thinking about it and makes you wonder what is going to happen.

It has lots of interesting parts and it is very educational. It is good for older chilldren learning about World War Two you could also read it to younger chilldren if you read a few sentances a day. It gives lots of imformation about things that happened during the war.

Rose Blanches mother never findes her and Rose Blanche could have been killed.

My Daughter is Home Schooled due to illness, her Tutor read this to her as part of her English lessons. The first chapter was captivating and got her hooked on the story, each week they would read a chapter and even I became interested.

The Story is about a teenage girl who is evacuated to Wales with her brother to live with a Shop owner and his sister.

Its an interesting read although not one I would have chosen for myself but as the book progressed I became more and more interested, I enjoyed listening ... Read More:

A book so wonderful that, 30 years on, I can still recall the entire plot, the names of many of the fascinating characters, as well as several of the key scenes (in particular at the canal) seared into my brain forever. Just superb.

(By Christopher aged 7 nearly 8)

I read this book by myself and found it very interesting. I particularly liked the Unicorn Lady and the stories that she read. The end was sad - I didn't like the war. War is never good. I would like to receive another book by Michael Morpurgo for Christmas.

I never tire of recommending Westall to readers (and the parents of readers), he is one of my favourite authors for children, and this is probably his best book - although I can't actually think of a BAD one! One of his best qualities is that he never talks down to his audience. This particular book is probably appropriate for age 11+, as there is a little bit of sex in it, and it does deal with adult emotions of all kinds, but he has written for much younger kids too, and his touch is always sure. Blitzcat gives children the feeling of being trusted ... Read More:

I'm a complete book worm and this book has gone straight into my top 5 all time best books!

Totally absorbing. Fantastically written.
Sad, happy, poignant,life affirming (even though the narrator is death!)
The characters get into your soul and it will stay with you for a long time after you've read it. I finished it a few days ago and have recommended it to everyone and now, I want to go back and read it all over again!

It's a cliche but if you only read one book this year, make sure it's this one!
Couldn't praise ... Read More:
