Short, and driven by compelling characters, engaging dialogue and an onward-marching pace, this is perfect for reluctant readers who may struggle to keep focus. It's also excellent for prompting discussions around WWII and broader ethical issues.

Bali Rai's writing is a perfect balance between simplicity and truth for children to grasp the realities of these events during WWII.
