Private Peaceful

Michael Morpurgo

When Thomas Peaceful's older brother is forced to join the British Army, Thomas decides to sign up as well, although he is only fourteen years old, to prove himself to his country, his family, his childhood love, Molly, and himself.

I read this with my class and the only part that really moved me or made me feel anything for the book was the end. I was like trying not to cry in class so be warned :’)
