I thought this book was great! It was very exciting, and I thought it was very well written. It is about a boy called Chas McGill who collects war souvenirs. One day he finds a crashed German plane with a machine gun and 200 live rounds of ammunition. Tog |

This is a superb book!
I would recommend it for years nine to fifteen. In the book Charles finds a crashed German plane and takes the machine gun. Then he and his friends make a camp and place it in the camp. |

This book is Superb. The text is amazing and there are a wicked range of words and metaphors. I would recommend this book for anyone, any age. In one word, simply fantastic and fun. For example, the book is about a machine gun, which is always exciting. |
