The language used in this larger font novel is excellent aussie lingo, and would be great for reluctant boy readers. Excellent read. It was a story about courage, war, loss and loyalty.

As an animal lover, this was quite harrowing. It was even more terrible to know that this was all true, and to imagine the heartbreak these soldiers had to go through after everything they had seen and experienced.
