## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not gripping or heartbreaking
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2018*

If you enjoy fairy tales you will love this book. The story has no tension or energy. The “bad” events that happen are all resolved within a few pages then back to happy, happy, times. I could hardly finish the last few chapters as they were so sickly sweet and everything was wrapped up with a pretty bow tied on.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Suited for middle grade students
  

*by G***P on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018*

This book in part reminded me of the troubling evacuation of Jewish children being accepted into England via the kindertransport (England being the only country that willingly took on the task of finding foster homes for them-very,very few reunited with their families after Hitler’s demise. Some were treated well and welcomed others were treated as servant-if,there’s an upside,those who were relocated did survive the atrocities and murders under Hitler). Here,however, while these children are forced away from bomb ravaged London, it is,in my opinion, not an historical reality.  Perhaps, the author wanted to focus more upon the relationships these children formed and the effects that separation from their mom,brother and infant brother, who remained in London, had upon them. Yes, there are tragic events.  The children,however,at the onset,seem to adapt rather quickly to their life in the countryside. I found the theme interesting. But, the characters,specifically the children, were not well developed, in my opinion. The dialogue along with the somewhat hurried (dropped opportunities for elaboration/details) and, I was hard pressed to become engaged with the story from beginning to end. However, I do think that it would do well as a teaching tool in a middle grade classroom,many do not realize (sadly,this is not part of WWII curriculum), the extent of chaos,upheavals,and an enormity of deaths as a result of Hitler’s murderous reign. I wish the other much luck. I believe that there are even more historical fiction tales similar to this that can be explored.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Unbelievable
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2018*

The story started interesting.  But lost my interest after the first 20 pages.Might be a good read for pre teens.Hard to believe a 5 year old speaks like an adult.
