Once Stanley has nothing left to keep him home, he enlists to fight for
England in WWI. Obviously underage, others try to protect Stanley from the
fighting and unknowingly keep him from his goal of finding his brother who is
serving in France. Stanley's only hope is to be the best messenger dog trainer
there is and, thus, climb the ranks and earn his way to his brother's side.
If
I had picked up this book on my own, I would not have made it through two
pages. I am not a history buff, so all the information about WWI was
dissuading, plus, the story was slow moving. For someone interested in WWI,
this would be a great read because of all the details I found boring as well as
the story of Stanley's family being torn apart by the war before it can
strengthen them.
