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

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。...

一株黑色的树,黑色的书名和简单的作者名,以一种紧凑纤细的姿态平躺在白色的封面上。这是《柑橘与柠檬啊》给我的第一波冲击。 静谧而端庄,不喧夺你的目光,静待细心的人去翻开它。 而一旦开始从第一页阅读,便是开启了一个宁静的世界。这个世界静卧于人心的某一隅,被淡淡...

悲伤的情绪永远奠定了我写作的冲动 对我来说这是莫大的宿命 高中时曾大言不惭的向所有人宣称爱好战争电影 也就是被死亡面前赤条裸体的生命和自由虏获了所有意志力 甘愿承认自己的无知和渺小 如今仍旧妄想以蚍蜉撼树的威力审视整个人类对生命的渴望 我颐享着宛如含饴弄孙的安...

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...
