Review: As November 11th rolls round another year after the war, families still grieving for the losses of loved one that they never said goodbye too, the government announce a special event of an Unknown Warrior to be buried there and a procession for those to come see him.
Young Daisy gets told at school about it and believes in her heart it’s her dad, so she has to do everything she can to get to the event and see her dad one last time. Though she learns an important lesson and finally understand something she never knew before.
This book wasn’t bad it was a good way of teaching about the war and the soldiers fates because of the war. We are told through the eyes of a grieving girl who takes you with her on her journey to saying goodbye. I liked the added historical facts at the end also.
