(By Christopher aged 7 nearly 8)
I read this book by myself and found it very interesting. I particularly liked the Unicorn Lady and the stories that she read. The end was sad - I didn't like the war. War is never good. I would like to receive another book by Michael Morpurgo for Christmas.

I am 7 and thought this was a brilliant story. I could understand what Ben was feeling like at the beginning when he prefers to play outside than go to the library or go shopping. But when i read about Unicorn Lady I wished I could be on the Unicorn myself listening to the stories too. It was a very sad ending with the bombs burning down the library but I'm happy that the villagers looked after the books and that the unicorn wasnt destroyed

I use book reviews on Amazon a lot to inform my buying decisions, so I just had to add one for this wonderful, amazing book. I bought this for my 9 year old son who has a reading age of 16 - never an easy combination to buy for as he doesn't enjoy 9-year old themes but older teen books need careful scrutiny before I give them to him. This book is utterly enchanting. It has adult themes of loss and redemption wrapped up in a delightful and safe story for children. Adults will get as much from this book as children - it brought tears to my eyes. Michael Morpurgo never disappoints and if you are new to his books then this is a very good place to start working through his incredible body of fiction.

nothing to worry about!
I often worry that books I read with my 7 yr old start happily enough and then include some awful disaster/war/trauma and I wish I'd never started them at bed time! Read more
