Gripping biography for young readers,
By
This review is from: Going Solo (Paperback)
I didn’t expect Roald Dahl’s account of life as a fighter pilot to interest me at all, but to my astonishment I found it gripping. It’s a real page-turner; I couldn’t wait to read the next chapter! As always, his style of writing is a pleasure to read, and although most younger readers prefer his macabre tales of fantasy, this is well worth adding to their Dahl Library. Both ‘Boy’ and ‘Going Solo’ are the perfect way to introduce the developing younger reader to biographical/true-life stories, rather than remaining forever stuck in the magical realms of fantasy fiction. This book can be equally enjoyed by young and old alike … the sort of book a grandfather and grandson can read together!

I wish I'd read this when I was 10,
This review is from: Going Solo (Paperback)
When I was 10 I didn't read. But if I'd been given Going Solo I might have started sooner. It is wonderful. The material about his being in the RAF is breathtaking. It made me want to read more. It led me to his adult stories, some of which are about airmen.I work in schools and often use it to encourage children to read more than just fiction.
