This is a beautiful story. It has true humanity on so many different generational levels, everyone should read it. I'm a teacher and my students have always been mesmerized by this story. I've given copies to grown friends and never been disappointed by their warm reactions. Don't miss this story.

My friend recommended this novel as a good children’s novel and it was quite a good adventure story. Though the bombing on Nagasaki part made me think a lot as a Korean, the overall story was well put-together.

I love all the books by Michael Morpurgo. I read a lot of mysteries and courtroom dramas and I pick a book by this author to lift me up. "War Horse" was a favorite of mine. I am going to order "An Elephant In The Garden" soon, I recommend his books to all my grandchildren.

I would recommend this book for children or young adults. I liked the Robinson Crusoe like story, and the plot was evenly paced. It was engaging throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!
Reviewed in Canada on November 1, 2023

We used this for homeschool, and it would be a good book for grade 4 to grade 9. The story is SO well-written, it is hard to find books of this caliber for kids. I read it and enjoyed it immensely as an adult. It is written so convincingly that I thought it might be non-fiction, but after some research, I found it is fiction, but based on many things that have happened (military personnel being stranded on an island), or do happen (turtles hatch at night), all woven into a well-told story.

Thank you Mr.Morpurgo for writing such a brilliant book on such an unusual plot. I couldn't put it down. It is really interesting the way the author describes him and his life in the form of a child of eleven. All I can say is that it was so well described that anybody would think it was real . Thank you and hope you write even more books for us children!
