Alone on a wide wide sea is a book about a boy who is shipped to australia to work there. he meets another boy who helps and treats him like his own brother. the place where they work is dreadful and eventually they run away. they meet a woman who looks after them and cares for but she dies so does arthurs friend. it is a very sad story but shows young children how life was and how lucky they are.

This book is amazing! I hadn’t read anything by Michael Morpurgo except in school so I didn’t really like him (shocking I know!). That is until I read this and I absolutely loved it! It is written so clearly it’s like you’re there with Arthur (the main character), experiencing everything he is! And finally without trying to spoil it I think the ending is lovely! =]

This is the story of Arthur Hobhouse who has been orphaned and sent to Australia. He only has vague memories of England and his sister Kitty. This is on my tear-jerker list so keep some tissues spare. This book is based on a true person and Michael Morpurgo has really captivated the feeling and emotion of this story and is very well-written.
