this is a great book for ages between 9 and 11 it does have some sad bits but over all I think it is an amazing book

The Butterfly Lion is a great book. I enjoyed reading it and I recommend it to everyone!

One of my kids in England read this and she couldn't stop talking about it! Michael Morpurgo is an author that uses imagery very powerfully. If you like stories that are to do with flashback, the past, memories etc. Read Michael Morpurgo!
