Knowing the previous two books I was highly anticipating this book. It more than lived up to my expectations! The decision of switching from a person's viewpoint to an animal was a nice change of pace.

As usual Phil manages to tell a wonderful adventure during the second world war, with heartfelt moments and characters that blend perfectly.

A captivating adventure
