I'm really upset because on accelerated reader I didn't pass the quiz. I really understood the basics of the book but I think because it was so short some of the questions were random and some of the answers were only briefly mentioned.
Anyway, I really recommend this book. It was lovely! At the beginning it took a while to get into it (and now I have the rest of the geek girl series calling to me - and the mortal instruments series!) but once I did it was amazing!

Hmmm honestly, it’s one of my least favourite Michael Morpurgo books I just didn’t find it realistic and didn’t really get the plot to be honest. 2.9/5
