5.0 out of 5 stars The type of book I want my children to be growing up reading.
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2015

I think this is a good, solid and important read for preteens.
It reads easily and charms the reader into feeling it is an easy and light read while tackling some potentially painful and complex subjects such as friendship, love (or lack or it), fitting in, and family relationships.
The rural setting also gives the book an earthiness and a grounding that many books for younger people lack these days.
The characters in the book have to deal with their external environment while also dealing with their own feelings. And the emotions of the characters aren't overplayed. They are simple and real yet no less potent for being so.
This is the type of book I want my children to be growing up reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A review by a 7 year old

I'm 7 and in year 3. I thought that this book was brilliant. It felt very realistic to me. The characters were believable. They had strengths and weaknesses like real people do. I felt like I got to know the 3 main children well. The story hooks the reader and I always wanted to read on to find our what was going to happen next. If you are aged between 7 and 10 I would recommend this book to you (but people who are older will enjoy it too - like my mum).

It's a very good book with amazing characters and great structure, but way too emotional for me and probably for some others too

Poor George, who has never found that right place to call his, with a family who want and enjoy him as the young boy that he is could have found it here with Tom and his family on their farm. When all set to make, yet another dash from yet another home,. he is called on to help with some stranded animals because of a flood situation. Could this finally be the home and family that he wants to stay with????? A story to read to children, grandchildren or just for yourself to enjoy as all Michael Morpurgo books are.
