"An enjoyable adventure story." The School Librarian "A well-told story showing that bravery comes in many guises." Carousel "This is a story which would read aloud well, and raise many questions about war and those who do not believe it is right to fight." Books For Keeps "Not only enjoyable but also a useful way to introduce readers to aspects of WWII less prevalent in children's fiction." The School Librarian "(A) poignant novel." Red House Children's Book Award, Pick of the Year
