4.0 out of 5 stars My Friend Walter: A Review, 3 Sep 2004
This review is from: My Friend Walter (Paperback)
Overall I think My Friend Walter is a great novel! There are so many surprises along the way from the very beginning to the very end of this exiting adventure! I'd recommend it to anyone, young and old alike. Not only is the book full of fun, laughter and mischief, but Morpurgo also teachs you the importance of friendship along the way.
Too cut a long story short, here is a brief idea of the storyline! A girl called Bess goes to a party, where she meets an old man. This old man isn't just any old man, but a ghost! The ghost if Sir Walter Raleigh. Walter gets Bess to free him him from the Bloody Tower and convices her to take him hometo the farm she lives on. On the farm Bess and Walter get up to all sorts of mischief and all is well. Until disaster strikes! Bess and her family have to sell up and leave the farm. But Walter has a trick up his sleeve! To discover it I'll leavde it up to you to read Morpurgo's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - I'd recommend it to anyone, 11 Jan 2001
By A Customer
The children at the school where I work have just finished reading 'My Friend Walter' as a class, and I was as hooked on it as they were.

The characters are all brought to life beautifully, with interesting and witty observations of how life would have been for Sir Walter Raleigh. The children probably learnt far more about Raleigh from reading this story than they would have done from a textbook of facts, and they extended their knowledge into classroom activities and writing techniques.

I missed the last chapter due to illness, and I was so keen not to miss out, that I had to borrow a copy from school to finish it at home!

2.0 out of 5 stars o.k but not brilliant
I had to read this at school. It is o.k and can be good in places, but the main character, Bess, is very weak and hard to work out. Read more
