'Once' By Morris Gleitzman

In class, we have been reading the novel, Once by Morris Gleitzman. We have been enjoying it because it is very well written, it captures the feeling of what it must have been like during World War Two.  It is also great to read about a character who stays optimistic even when going through a very difficult time.
