The story is about a young teenager named Tomas "Tommo" Peaceful. He tells us about the experiences he had living in his home village during World War I. His oldest brother, Big Joe, has learning disabilities and is often times looked out by his younger brothers. Thomas had another brother named Charlie, whom he spent a lot of his time with prior to the war. Before the war, he tells us about the pretty girl named Molly, a wonderful girl he met on the first day of school. Tommo knew from theCharlie, an eighteen year old boy was living a good life, is struck in the face of war, specifically World War I, and is forced to go. The real question is should his younger brother, Tommo, go with him. Tommo and Charlie lived a happy life in England, in a simple little town where no big problems really occur. With the brink of war at hand however, the army is recruiting any boy of age to fight, which Charlie was. Tommo, however, was not. Tommo is sixteen years old at the time, and the military
A bookclub read which I really enjoyed. Set against the backdrop of World War One, the story follows brothers Charlie and Tommo as they grow up and enlist in Britain's army to fight in the war. Each chapter begins sometime during a long night as Tommo recalls all the adventures and trials he and his family endured together. This book is aimed at 10-14 year olds however adults seem to really enjoy it and it is a great discussion book.
Im 13, and we read this book in my english class. Before I read this I never understood WW1 and WW2 but it opened my eyes to the suffering and sadness of it all. I think the author was brilliant to not go straight to the trenches, but go through Tommo's whole life first. I became to love Tommo alot as he grew up, and Charlie too. When they go to war it is just so miserable and sad and I now think all soldiers in the war, and ww2 were complete heroes and dont get enough credit for what they did
This is the second book I have read of Michael Morpurgo and I loved it. I love it just like the first book. It has left a mark on me, a very deep that will stay with me forever.The writing was amazing and the plot was just so good.When reading this I felt all the feelings and I felt extremely attached to all the characters, maybe not the horrible ones but all the nice ones. It has certainly made me feel that what they did and how the soilders were being treating during the first world war. It
The sadest book I have ever read.I would reccommend this to you all who like to cry over a book, but I warn you to have a tissue when your near the end, because you'll cry your heart out.This book is passionate and brings you deep, letting you know how the characthers feeling and wishing it could change to a happy ending, but it also tells you what war and true love and brotherly friendship is about.It tells you how Charlie and Tommo Peaceful come to at the end, and I wish I have never read this
