I listened to this as an audiobook as a kid and will always return to Michael Morpurgo's amazing storytelling. It feels extremely soothing to return to his books, and reminds me of falling asleep to them when I was younger. The characters and plot are complex and interesting. The only fault I have is that I find Arthur's story in the first half much more enjoyable than the story from Allie's perspective, but it is still a lovely and emotional read to the end.
