City of Belmont - Ruth Faulkner Public Library

Respected YA author Libby Hathorn has drawn on family history and done extensive research to write a fascinating book that profiles two young protagonists, both seventeen years of age, who are related: Maurice, who went to Gallipoli and the Western Front and his great-great nephew, Oliver, who is trying to deal with difficult family circumstances but whose discovery of Maurice's WW1 diary changes the way he sees the world. The two points of view makes this a refreshingly different 'time slip' novel, with the balance of the historical and contemporary sections perfect for use in the classroom but also appealing to the YA reader. Ages: 12+
