The heart-warming story of lifelong friendship of Lily and Tips is filled with danger, excitement and adventure. It is a must read; you will not be able to put it down once you start. I can remember reading this in school and falling in love with the story. I could not believe that it was based on a true story and I became so interested to learn about what it was like to live during the second world war. This story is based on the stories from Michael Morpurgo’s Grandmother’s diaries that she wrote when she was 12 years old during the war. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I do!
