Starred Review. Grade 7 Up–At 15, Thomas Peaceful, like many other English soldiers in World War I, is too young to fight, but he lies about his age. Now at the front in France with his older brother Charlie he stands a lonely nighttime vigil for reasons that are not explained until the book's end, watching the minutes tick by and reflecting on his past. Using first-person narration, Morpurgo draws readers into this young man's life, relating memories that are idyllic, sobering, and poignant. Tommo thinks upon the role he played in his father's accidental death, the adventures that he shared with Charlie, his relationship with his childhood friend Molly, and the experiences that he has had since entering the war. Finally, he describes how Charlie disobeyed a direct order to stay with him after he was wounded in action, fully aware of this decision's dire consequences. While this story is not based on any one individual, Morpurgo has personalized the British tactic of executing their own soldiers "for cowardice or desertion," memorializing these men without passing judgment. While readers see the events through Tommo's eyes, the author does not lose sight of the war's effects on the teen's friends and family. Reminders come in the form of letters from home, relationships with other soldiers, and observations of battles. This thoughtful novel touches on themes of humanity and duty, and features brilliant characters whose personal decisions have earned them their very own badges of honor.–Delia Fritz, Mercersburg Academy, PA

*Starred Review* Gr. 7-12. In this World War I story, the terse and beautiful narrative of a young English soldier is as compelling about the world left behind as about the horrific daily details of trench warfare: the mud, rats, gas attacks, slaughter. At 15, Thomas lied about his age in order to follow his beloved older brother, Charlie, to fight in France. Now, nearly two years later, as Thomas sits waiting in the dark for the horror he knows will come at dawn, he remembers it all. Growing up as a poor farm boy in a happy family, he was always close to Charlie and to their brain-injured brother, Joe, a character Morpurgo draws with rare tenderness and truth. Thomas and Charlie even loved the same girl; Charley married her, but she writes to them both. Thomas also remembers British brutality, from the landlord who threatened the family with eviction if Charlie didn't enlist to the cruel army sergeant who tried to break Charlie's spirit. Charlie may be too perfect, almost a Christ figure, but it's Thomas' viewpoint of the brother he loves. Suspense builds right to the end, which is shocking, honest, and unforgettable. Be sure to add this to titles in the Read-alikes, "War to End All Wars" [BKL N 1 01]. Hazel Rochman

評分好有畫麵感
評分I love the writing style, so plain but so sharp.
評分極重閱讀體驗的一本書,畫麵感音樂感都很強,隻是好像不夠圓融統一,也許作者並沒有明確地想要錶達什麼。文字風格輕緩,後部分敘述時態的轉換讓人想要飄起來。Nothing stays the same.

那天傍晚,我坐在窗前看着外面阴霾的天空,那里正酝酿着一场雪,而我浑身的血液仿佛也像沉睡的冰河一样不再流动。房间里飘荡着来苏水的味道,床铺和墙壁都好像生气一样灰白着脸,不时有轻轻的脚步声、低语声、呻吟声……有时候这些声音乱作一团,伴随着金属器械冰冷的撞击声。...
評分我小时候一直梦想有这么一本书,它讲的是孩子的故事,却能让我窥见成长后的世界,读过它便能一夜长大。可惜我还没有遇到它就已经积攒了太多的时光。 后来我又梦想写这么一本书,用孩子的目光审视这个太过糟糕的世界,给他们埋下希望的种子。结果我撕掉了好多拙劣的开头:给孩子...
評分在这样一个阳光明媚的上午,我读完了麦克-莫波格《柑橘与柠檬啊》。 书的前半部分用了大部分笔墨和色彩描绘了小托眼中的童年,偶尔伤感、恐惧,但因为有着温柔坚韧的妈妈,纯真的大个子乔,勇敢的机智的善良的哥哥査理,以及美好的茉莉,生活永远如柑橘与柠檬般色彩明调。 然而...

評分起先,我以为这是一本关于一个小男孩成长的故事。看着看着,我又以为这是一本关于小男孩和哥哥之间的兄弟情谊的故事。接着读下去,我开始以为这是一本以战争为背景的人性温暖的故事。再读下去,我想这本书应该有一个更高的主题,也许是关于生和死。读到最后,我震惊地发现,这...
