Private Peaceful
by Michael Morpurgo
This story is about three children and their lives.To start with the girl was just a neighbour but then the boys,Charlie and Tommo Peaceful, became her friend.The girls name was Molly.At first they just played together but then they started to go to school together.The first thing that happens in the story is the two boys father dies.Near the middle of the book Molly and Charlie get jobs and because of an insident Molly is told to stay away from Charlie.They still keep seeing each other secretly and Molly gets thrown out of her house and has to stay the Peaceful's house because she is pregnant.Then Tommo gets a job working with Charlie.Finally the boys have to go to be soldiers and things get tough......
My favourite character is Charlie and Tommo's brother.He is kind and loves nature.Although it is not fair when he gets treated badly by his evil grandmother.
My favourite part is when Molly gets better after a long illness.
Overall this book is great although some parts are very sad.
