Midnight: A True Story of Loyalty in World War 1, is a tale of bravery and loyalty. Guy and Midnight are conscripted into the military during WW1, seeing combat in the African desert. The loyalty comes from the relationship between Midnight and Guy. Their bond is what gets them through the war, as they support each other in that dark time. The story can be mature for a picture book, as it shows several battles and some injuries. Overall a tense read, one that has a somber atmosphere and eye catching illustration. ( ) My favorite part ofc this book is the illustrations. They are very eye catching. The style of writing is easy to understand and it doesn't go too deep into the hardships of soldiers during WW1 so I think it'll be good for younger audiences. I do not think this book provides enough information about the war though. I feel like there could have been more back ground about when and why the war started. Midnight is a brave horse who takes his trusted partner on the rough journey that is World War I. When Guy must leave Midnight behind, he wonders if they will ever meet again. Once reunited they continue their journey, Midnight continuing to be brave and faithful. The bond between the two grows ever strong and they go through the challenges and evils of war together, never leaving one another. The story is told with the setting as World War I and is told in the most simple but powerful way. The words throughout the story are written in a poetic way that makes the story not only easy to read, appeals to one’s emotions. Through all the challenges faced, the bond between Guy and Midnight is always strong, until the very end. The ending is a sad one, not really letting the reader know if either of them will survive, but still Midnight even in pain is as strong as ever. It was a very good story, simple but still telling the details of the period and what was happening during the time. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A foal is born at midnight, on the homestead side of the river. Coal black. Star ablaze. Moonlight in her eyes. On October 31, 1917, the 4th and 12th Regiments of the Australian Light Horse took part in one of the last great cavalry charges in history. Among the first to leap the enemy trenches was Lieutenant Guy Haydon riding his beloved mare, Midnight. This is their story. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
