Review: An unusual wartime tale - This is an enthralling read for teenagers and adults alike . It puts across the issues of racism in a simple but direct and unsentimental way. The characters are strong and resourceful. Timothy's use of creole dialect adds a sense of time and place. The location of the story and its time during World War Two is unusual for the British reader, making it interesting and different. The story has a reasonable pace and the outcome is satisfactory, despite the death of a major character. The current edition lacks the fine line illustrations in previous editions, which added to the impact. I can see that the cover has been changed to presumably appeal to an older audience, but it is dark and indistinct and does not immediately arouse the interest of the prospective reader. Don't judge this book by its cover, as it is a very good read.
Review: Great story!! - Loved this book as a child and hope my daughter will love it for Xmas, I will be having a read of it again when she is done with it!
