A review by sarahrxssell
Alone on a Wide Wide Sea by Michael Morpurgo

5.0

EDIT: Just reread my childhood favourite. It didn't disappoint. I want to reread my whole Morpurgo collection, and maybe I will. Considering I study TROTAM, I loved the references. Thank you for this book.

Since I was about twelve, this has been one of my favourite books.

I'm not actually someone who goes for a really realistic book, I much prefer fantasy and fiction, for example, the divergent trilogy, but this was one of my first 'more mature' books that I had read.

It genuinely touched my heart.

I'm not going to spoil the story for you, but it will make you cry. Michael Morpurgo to me is a genius, thank you very much for giving the world this book.

Now I don't even own this in physical book form, I first borrowed it from a library and later got it on my kindle fire, but being one of my favourites I think I need to buy it!
