JUNIOR EDUCATION
‘If there are such things as contemporary classics, then this, surely is one of them.’
Daily Mail
Praise for SHADOW:
“As ever, Morpurgo's warmth and humanity suffuse a story of courage, love and hope.” – Amanda Craig, The Times
“passionate and touching” – Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading
Praise for AN ELEPHANT IN THE GARDEN:
"This is a handsome, very pickupable book. Brightly and informatively jacketed, its text punctuated by lovely, fluid ink and wash illustrations by Michael Foreman, it deserves a prominent place on school library bookshelves and, if there is any justice in the world, in bookshops."
Guardian
"A thrilling and moving new novel about an extraordinary animal caught up in a very human war, for anyone who loved The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips or The Butterfly Lion!" Waterstones
"For readers aged eight and over, this captivating novel offers an insight into how Hitler came to power, refracted through the gaze of the young narrator."
Telegraph
"Following the stage success of War Horse, Michael Morpurgo returns with another gem in his animals in war series, An Elephant in the Garden."
Telegraph
I come from a family of farmers, going back generations and generations.
I love Grandpa's farm. When I was younger I'd go down there whenever I could; but I didn't go just for the farm. I went for Grandpa and his stories too. He loved to tell them and I loved to listen. But Grandpa had a secret, a secret so shameful to him that he had kept it to himself, all these years. I didn't discover his secret, he told me himself. That was the story that was to change my life.
...a remarkable feat of Morpurgo recreation. If there are such things as contemporary classics, then this, surely, is one of them.
