My reading group has just finished reading a great novel by Sarah Ells it was called When the war came home.
It was about a boy called Jimmy who lived in Auckland with his uncle but then an epidemic spread around the city that forced the two to sail away to a island. That where they meet a girl called Adele and find out that the people they went to see were dead. Then the uncle gets sick and its up to Jimmy and Adele to sail back to Auckland to seek medical attention. Of course like most books it had a happy ending.
I thought it was a really good book and would rate it 8/10.
Your book review was to the point and you summarised the story in your own words quite well. What was your favourite part in the book?
ReplyDeleteI liked it when Jimmy saw his dad.
