The 1,000-year-old Boy by Ross Welford
4.0
I was expecting something different, but this was still a good read. Once I started reading it was difficult to stop - all the characters were amazing and so likeable (especially biffa).
The climatic end was everything I wanted. It was easy to forget its a children's novel - but 100% worth the read for any adult.
For teachers: warnings of death, theft, slight bullying and hints at swearing.
Topics that you could link this to: history, Anglo saxon, Charles dickens. Though the history mentioned is stated to be inaccurate - still a nice hook to grt children interested in a history topic.
