  1. Sorry that I haven't been on your blog in some time Mia! I thoroughly enjoyed this book when I first read it, especially the way it was set-up and the soldier told the children three stories. Now there is a big lie in the book, did you figure it out? I'd love to hear what you think the lie is....

    1. Hi Con. Sorry, I read this book so long ago that I barely remember what happened, but I do remember that I didn't spot anything odd about this book when I was reading it. I might be able to read it again and keep and eye out for the lie.
