5.0
I've loved this book since I was a kid, and it still holds up! Full of action, adventure, twists and turns. It follows a well-established plot, but is driven forward by the characters just as strongly as the events themselves. A good read for younger and older readers.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Animal death, Death, Violence, and War
This book is absolutely wonderful, but might be a bit much for very young readers. It addresses war and the violence found in war in realistic ways, and this does include some moderately graphic descriptions of death/wounds/etc. That being said, I first read this book at the age of eleven and it didn't permanently scar me or anything.
