Stars 5/5
Half A Man by Michael Morpurgo
Illustrated by Gemma O'Callaghan
This is a fascinating book about post war concerns. The book follows young Michael and his feeling of interest and yet fear of his Grandfather coming to visit. Michael's Grandfather was a burn victim of war and lost some of his fingers and was burned all over his face and body. Michael wants to know more about what happened and yet is told not to stare. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I will say that as Michael grows his relationship with his Grandfather changes. I highly recommend this book to kids of all ages.
