Goodnight Mr Tom is a great book writen be Michelle Magorian.It was set during the Second World War when England was being attacked by Germany. The book was based on a little boy who lived with his mother and they were very poor. His name is William Beach. When he was 8 years-old he was sent to little Weiwold, a small town in the country as an evacuee. He was given to Mr Tom who was a grumpy old man aged in his 60's to be taken care of. While he stayed there he made alot of friends like Zach, George, Carrie and Ginnie. Mr Tom and Willie made a special bond with love and care. Before Willie can to the town he was very skinny and was very unhealthy
Book Review: Excellent book....
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very intense but a good read. It is about evacuees from the London area because WWII was beginning. This particular town is painted different than most during this era. The people are nice and giving. If anyone does misuse the children they are put out for it! The major characters meet each other and both are not too sure of the other. It tells the story of a lost soul bringing healing to another lost soul. There are some intense and disgusting scenes but when you come out on the other side it is worth it! I don't recommend this book for anyone under the age of 12 or 13.Book Review: An Extraordinary Book- Samantha
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was a very engaging book. Once I picked it up and started reading, I couldn't stop. The way the author explained everything in the book was just unbelievable. I love the way she used a helpless little boy, Willie, and a lonely old man, Mr. Tom, to create such a thrilling story. If you read this book, you will definately be amazed. Some people, not myself, may be able to relate to this book in some ways. The way the war was going on even gives you a glimpse at the horror people had to face during those times. I strongly recommend that you read this book.Book Review: One of my "desert island" books

If I had to pack light and could only take a handful of books, this would definately have a place in my suitcase. I teach fourth grade and read aloud to my class each day. I look forward to rereading this to my class each year because it means revisiting a special place full of wonderful characters. "Heart warming" seems so cliche', but it describes this book so well. It never fails to grab my student's attention and they always beg for me to continue. You will laugh, you will cry, you will tell all your friends to read Good Night, Mr. Tom.Book Review: An insight into how the war brought the country together
Summary: 5 Stars
Never in my life has a book made such an effct on me. Chuck "Little Women" and "Jane Eyre" out the window because this book is really quite something. From the first page you get this sense of love in amongst all the strong charaters. The setting is fantastic and provided a way to get the bold charateristics of each characeter seem so realistic! I can't say I didn't cry, because I was a hose for most of the book. But it is nice to have agoo cry one in a while . I would stongly recomend this book to anyone so go and buy it
