Tommo Peaceful is counting down the hours until dawn — and remembering everything.
In one long night before a First World War dawn, young Tommo Peaceful looks back over his whole life: his Devon childhood, his brother Charlie, the girl they both loved, and the impossible choices that war has brought them to. Michael Morpurgo tells a story of extraordinary beauty and heartbreak in less than two hundred pages — a feat of storytelling that makes every sentence count.
Private Peaceful is about loyalty and injustice and the terrible cost of both — and about the specific cruelty of a war that took its youngest soldiers first and asked the most of those who could least afford to give it.
A powerful and deeply moving read for children aged 11 and up — one of Michael Morpurgo's finest books, and one that should be read by everyone.
