Really sad
I think this book is very useful and educational because it helped me learn about world war 2 and how mr winston churchil send spys across the world to help fight the naiz
A tale based on a true story of a posthumous George Cross and Croix de Guerre medal winner. It’s an amazing tale of bravery, resilience and determination. An ideal book for using in a WWII topic to ensure that pupils understand that significant sacrifices were made by all members of society.
A well-written, engaging book set before and during the Second World War. I strong main character that KS3 my students identify with. A story told with just the right pace and depth. Drama, danger, grief, excitement. Nail-biting stuff. An easy route to learn about WW 2 and the heroic, selfless decisions individuals had to make. Based on actual events.
