This is a good story, although it is not my favourite. The kids got lost when they were walking home, and the book tells about what happened to them. When they finally arrived at home, their mum and dad were really angry.
Very good
I Liked the hey
This book was ok. I enjoyed the bit where they got trapped in.
It was really, really good. I liked Lisa best! I would recommend it to children who like adventures!!!
I thought it was dangerous to be in the Castle.
my favorite character was Lisa. It was all about some kids who used an old bomb shelter as a sort of mini home.it was fiction,I would recommend it
The best book in the world, I liked when the children made the "castle" their own and kept it a secret!
I enjoyed reading this book.
I hadn't read any books by this author before but enjoyed this one. It would have been nice if some of the illustrations were in colour. The ending wasn't what I expected.
Time pass
I really liked reading this book, Tim and his friends find a hide out they called the Castle.
I love building dens and making it into a real exciting place to play .
This book has a dog in it called Raffetty. I like reading Michael Morpurgo books they are exciting and interesting.
This is good read for 8+
A lovely story for a younger reader. I liked how the story touched upon the history of WW2. The three main characters were my favourites and it was nice to follow the adventure with their ‘castle’. I would definitely recommend this book.
Kind of sad and happy
Extreme
I disliked the bully’s
A lovely book
This book from little gems is about one rainy day where they need to seek shelter and happen to hide in an ancient war hiding spot.But once there secret is out they never go in again.Now people believe it is full of sheeps.
The story was a little too long before it got exciting. I liked the metal WW1 hat.
I liked the soldier hat and the war things that they found in the castle. It was a good story. I was sad at the end because they had to leave the castle.
It was very good it was sad at the end though
I thought it was going to be rainy day and they wont be able to find a shelter and I thought they were going to a field that had sheep and they found a house in the field and my favourite person was Tom because he was a being good. i would recommend it to someone else because they can read it too.
It was nice I liked it
I like it because the castle is actually a pill box but they use it as a hide out
Yes this book is filled with friendship and world war 2 and a great book to sit down and read
This book was ok not my favourite but a nice quick read
Quite a nice story about 3 friends who find a castle from world war 2.
I really liked Chris and Tom because they are very brave and stand up for themselves. Chris also protects his little sister Lisa which is a very kind thing to do. I thought that each page could of had way more words and for there to be less pictures. I would recommend this book to younger kids because I didn’t enjoy it that much as I am 9 years old.
its a mystery of fun.Tom's father pushed a log out of the way so they can get out!
I liked that we got to see Snug the cat again at the end of the story. I would like to build a den in a Pill Box too.
It was interesting and good.
I would recommend this book.
I have learnt never go on other peoples property from it
