Goodnight Mister Tom

When World War II thrusts scrawny evacuee Willie Beech into the care of a gruff old man, an unlikely bond flourishes between them. But as Willie enjoys his first ever taste of kindness, suddenly his happiness comes under threat again… This heartwarming classic tells a moving and memorable tale of friendship against all the odds, set against a stunning wartime backdrop.

”... a marvellous story that knows just how to grab the emotions.” Guardian

I loved this book! It made me cry the way Will was treated. Couldn’t have written any better.

This book is a great book. It was a great deal and the story was lovely. I think this is a great book but I do think it should be for 11+ because it has a bit of saddness in it.

This is an amazing book! Perfect for any bookworm! It’s full of love, devotion and in some ways extremley upsetting. I know most people say i couldnt put it down but i REALLY couldn’t. I hope you enjoy the book!
