6/30
An eagle in the snow
Michael Morpurgo
Historical fiction
This book is about Barney, his mum and someone they met. First of all Barneys dad went to war in WW2. The fighter planes dropped bombs along Barneys street and their houses were demolished. This leaded them to take a train to one of their relations where they could live by the seaside. While they were on the train the fighter planes were following them so they had to stop in a tunnel where it was safe, though pitch black and smoky. The man that had been sitting in their carriage told them about his life story how he was once in the army. He had told them about all his adventures and all of his friends adventures lighting a match every so often when the driver of the train said that they were going to be moving out of the tunnel as the planes had gone. when Barney and his mum looked back at the man he was gone.
I really enjoyed this story as it was a war story but I especially liked it because it was based on a true story but told in a really clever way. I would rate this a 10/10.
