It has also left me with plenty to think about. Luckily, my dog (pictured) came to the rescue with some doggy devotion and sat on my lap during one of the more heartbreaking scenes! I’d recommend it to adults as well as children from Year 6 (11yrs) upwards. It’s one of those books, like those of Philip Pullman, that respects children’s intelligence and their ability to understand emotional and ethical complexity.

I read this wonderful, beautifully written story to/with my 12 year old son, covering one chapter a night as a bedtime story (who says older kids are too old for bedtime stories? ) He loved it and I loved it just as much, maybe for different reasons - I loved the beautiful prose and the poignancy, and my son loved the adventures and fight/flight/survival scenes. This is a modern children’s classic!
Absolutely outstanding and impossible to put down. I finally got to this on my tbr pile (ive manged to have 2 copies) and read it in one sitting.
It was incredibly powerful, often brutal, and I cried during more than one scene. It is harsh and brutal with plenty of emotion. !
