Review

"[S]moothly and compellingly told...This is a vivid and evocative story of youth and of war...."

Publisher's note

When Thomas Peaceful's older brother is forced to join the British Army, Thomas decides to sign up as well, although he is only fourteen years old, to prove himself to his country, his family, his childhood love, Molly, and himself.

Annotation

Private Thomas Peaceful, a raw, inexperienced adolescent, finds himself on a nighttime World War I battlefield in France, ruminating over his past, while dreading the arrival of dawn. Underage, like so many soldiers, he joined the army to stay with his beloved older brother, Charlie. He sifts through nostalgic, painful memories of his father's death, his mother's difficulties, and his love for Molly, a childhood friend. What is left of his life is about to transform into something beyond his comprehension. Michael Morpurgo was England's Children's Laureate from 2003-2005.
