Goodnight Mr. Tom

by Michelle Magorian

Goodnight Mr. Tom is a wonderful and emotional book about a boy named Will, who is an evacuee during World War ll. All children had to leave London because of the bombings. They would go to the country while their parents usually stayed in London. Will is placed in the hands of Mr. Tom Oakley. At first Will feels very uncomfortable, but after a while he feels the exact opposite. Tom is very nice to him, and he has great friends including Zach, Carrie, Ginnie, Sammy (the dog) and lots more.

Will’s life is great until he has to go back to London because his mother is ill. His mother is horrible to him - she beats him and gives him bruises all over his legs. Will is not longing to stay but it is the right thing to do so he does. Will Will stay in London with his mom or will Tom get him back? Read this book to find out. IT’S WORTH IT!

Relation: I relate this book to me because my Dad used to live in London and also I love the country just like Will!
