Wars : The plot |
|
Sam
is being bullied at school. A quiet, creeping insidious form
of bullying that has Sam terrified of his persecutors. Sam
is also very angry with his father as it appears that he is
the cause of the bullying. Sam's father keeps pigeons and
the bullies find this amusing. When Sam's father has to go
off and help in the D-Day landings and Sam is left at home
with his mother and little sister things begin to change for
him...

"Dear
everyone back home, I'm not going to make it home in time
for easter after all ...
lots of love take care, Mat x"
This
is a quote taken from the start of the book Feather Wars by Sally
Grindley.
The
story was set in 1940 when Europe was at war. My favourite chapter
is the one where the family were alarmed that Mat who is in the
army
was hurt.
In
the story I really felt sorry for another of the characters called
Sam as he was bullied at school and has not yet heard from his brother
Mat.
I liked
this book because I could picture the story and all the characters.
I enjoyed
the book although it isn't one of my favourites.
