The Silver Sward

A great book. Kept the children entertained from start to finish. It really made them think about what happens in a war.

A good read

I liked this book! It captured me and wasn’t to difficult to read! It helped me understand the difficulty of Refugees during the war. It was very interesting. However some parts were a little boring. A GOOD READ overall!!!
