Review:

“A tremendous book for a gentle exploration of one small facet of the Second World War.” - Minerva Reads

“Miriam Halahmy has written a warm and touching story of friendship, courage and loyalty. A lovely and moving book. Highly recommended for 10+.” - The Historical Novel Society

“Inspired by real events during the Second World War, this is a touching tale of courage, resourcefulness and camaraderie in desperate times.” - Junior News & Mail

“This is a sympathetic and moving story of a side of war that doesn’t receive much attention and fills a gap in children’s war literature.” - Childtastic Books

“This book is sure to be enjoyed by animal-lovers, history enthusiasts and fans of children outsmarting the grown-ups.” - The Library Girl and Book Boy

“A classic den-in-the-woods adventure for age nine to 12 and a subtle fable about asylum seekers” - The Jewish Chronicle

“A tautly written and compelling novel, it is a stirring defence of animal welfare” - The Lady Magazine

“It's a story that needed to be told – what happened to animals before and during the war is glossed over. By telling the story in such a compassionate manner, from the viewpoint of children, the author has enlightened us and given us a new understanding” - Parents in Touch
