An Eagle in the Snow Hardcover – January 17, 2017

This book is amazing! So fun and it keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time so good!

I really enjoyed this book. It was easy reading and one wonders how different the world might have been had the young man decided not to do what he did. It is a thought provoking read, and it makes you realize how, what we think is an insignificant decision can affect world events.

Amazing plot, story is really nice, good read for a chill day! I absolutely love the characters. I recommend you read it!

Amazing book! Great for ages 9-17.Really interesting never wants to stop reading!Characters felt so real it felt like I knew them myself!

Enjoyed the book and easy read larger pring

What a terrific, important story for young readers. I particularly appreciated the afterword about what we know about the real Henry Tandey who was -- or wasn't -- the man who didn't shoot Hitler.

Excellent WWII novel. Morpurgo can't be beaten for war novels for middle school students.

Nice book

An Eagle In The Snow by Michael Morpurgo is a powerful historical children’s novel that I loved. It is perfect for ages ten years and over. It is based on fact, on the actions of Private Henry Tandey in World War I. It is an inspiring and amazing tale. It will educate you as you read. At the end of the book is a brief history of Henry Tandey’s life.War is futile. Politicians send young men on both sides to be slaughtered. No one wins. Everyone loses. “We had won, but it didn’t feel like winning, it never does.”Young men were changed by war. Some lived. Some died. Survivors were wracked with guilt. No matter how many years had passed, you couldn’t escape the war. “The war stayed in his head… It’s the same for all of us who’ve fought in a war. You don’t forget. You can’t. You want to, but you can’t.”We see World War I through the eyes of a veteran and a son of Coventry, who is on a train journey during World War II. We are shown the terror of being strafed by a Nazi plane whilst on a train.We hear of the bonds made in the Pals regiments during the first World War.And we see how a snap decision had far reaching consequences down the years.An Eagle In The Snow has a superb, jaw-dropping ending. I found it such a powerful read.

Michael's books are a delight to read. Meant for children, but just as enjoyable for adults, for a quick read.

There has not been a story Mr. Morpurgo wrote we have not enjoyed. But this one is on the favorite list. We gave this as an audio book to our 12 year old son. He has listened a number of times. The story is superb! It is thought provoking and the WW1 historical facts are correct. The audio quality on this recording is great. The pleasant voice drew us in right from the start. Appreciated the historical note on the end of the book. We hope Mr. Morpurgo will write many more such stories!

Very interesting one again from Michael Morpurgo...

An Eagle In The Snow est un roman jeunesse de Michaël Morpurgo, publié par les Editions HarperCollins et vendu à 9€. C’est un petit roman avec une police de caractère assez importante. Le texte est parsemé d’image et rend la lecture plus agréable.J’ai donc lu ce livre en VO et je l’ai trouvé magnifique ! L’anglais y est très accessible. De plus, l’histoire est magnifique, superbement bien menée et captivante. Même si je me doutais un peu du dénouement, j’ai vraiment eu plaisir à lire ce roman.Je vais essayer de le lire en français maintenant, pour voir si ça rend aussi bien et si j’ai tout compris !
