The Silver Sword By Ian Serraillier

The Silver Sword is based on a true story about a family trying to reunite after the Second World War. My mum said it was really good, when I was looking for something to read, and I've read it twice. I can't put a book down once I get into it. I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in two days. I've read The Lord of the Rings so it didn't seem too long. This year I've also enjoyed Adeline Yen Mah's A Chinese Cinderella (Puffin) - that's based on a true story too.
