When 10-year-old Archie Albright is given a scrapbook for his birthday in April 1914, he thinks he will fill it with comics, souveniers and funny stories about his family. But then war breaks out and his life changes forever. Archie tells the story of the First World War from his point of view, filling his scrapbook with anecdotes about life in London’s East End, newspaper clippings, letters from his Dad and Uncle who are fighting in France and his own war inspired comic strips.
This is a interesting, enjoyable and fun book. The character reminds us of people we know. The policeman reminds Charlie of his sister because they are both funny, the baby monster foot print reminds Imogen of her baby brother, the Grandma reminds Skye of her brother because they are both naughty and rude and the Dad on the toilet reminds many of us of our Dads!
We are up to page 19 so far….

If you are interested in wars this is a great book with lots of facts about World War I.
Also, it is very funny…”shut the blinking door” gave us lots of laughs.
We like this book and it is really funny! So far, the funniest bit has been the person on the toilet picture saying ”shut the blinking door!”
