Description

As young Thomas Peaceful looks back over his childhood from the battlefields of the First World War, his memories are full of family life deep in the countryside. But the clock is ticking, and every moment Tommo spends remembering how things used to be, means another moment closer to something which will change his life forever.Written by Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo, and winner of the Blue Peter Book Award in 2005, Private Peaceful is a powerful and extraordinarily moving insight into the horrors of war.
