A review by bibliosini
Alone on a Wide Wide Sea by Michael Morpurgo
4.0
I'll admit that it didn't bring me to tears as Private Peaceful did, but it had its own charm!
Reading this was like reading two stories in one, even though the second story is a continuation of the first. The POVs changed and Morpurgo changed his writing as well. The first story has that weary, hopeful tone whereas the second is much more chipper and determined! Arthur's story was quite a ride, but Allie's journey was what I would call adventurous and fun!
There were some heartfelt deaths in the story, of course.
Overall, Alone on a Wide Wide Sea was a pretty touching retelling!
