Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian

emotional hopeful medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I read this for school, but I really liked it. The characters were great and the storyline melted my heart. I also really loved the writing.
I think the only thing I didn’t like was how they dealt with mental health.

Like William had extreme ptsd and Mr Tom was just like ‘country air good, mental health professional bad’
