Riassunto:

A new edition to commemorate the First World War centenary.

Recensione: 'This is a necessary, powerful, outspoken but ultimately healing book, something all young people born into more fortunate generations should read.' (The School Librarian)

'A moving story which fully captures the horrors of war. One of the best children's or teen books to tackle a difficult topic.' (The Bookbag)

This is a moving account of the reality of war and the terrible personal cost to a 17-year old recruit. (Pat Walsh, Historical Novel Review)

James Riordan was one of our most powerful writers of war stories... All secondary schools should take the opportunity to re-stock this important title. (Kathryn Tyson, The School Librarian Magazine)

This is compelling, revealing reading. (Caroline Franklin, Newbury Weekly News)

Beautifully written by an accomplished storyteller... (Paul Dowswell, Carousel: The Guide to Children's Books)
