Little Boy Lost (1)

In this post, I will be writing about my new book, Little Boy Lost. I will write a book summary about it, why I chose this and a description of the author. 

Book Summary:
I chose a new book called Little Boy Lost. It is a historical fiction book. This is about a man name Hilary Wainright, a young, successful  English poet. Unfortunately, during the war in France, his wife died from the Gestapo but didn't know anything about his son. This book is about a dad trying to look for his son after the war was over. I'm not that far into the book, but it starts off him learning that his son was missing, that he wasn't dead. This is an excerpt from Lisa, Hilary's wife, who sent a letter to Hilary before she died:
"Hilary, you must come and save our baby. As soon as it is safe, you must come over and fetch him from Jeanne, and teach him English and make him your son." (Laski 13).

Why I chose this book:
I never liked historical fiction books because I thought it was never appealing to me. But then I wanted to try something new...something that was different than realistic fiction...something that actually happened. So my parents and I sat down and concluded that, Little Boy Lost, was the right book for me! So far, I like it!

The author:
Marghanita Laski was a well known author in the 1900s. She was an English journalist, a writer, a novelist and many more. She attended University of Oxford. Her most famous book was, Little Boy Lost. There's even a movie about the book!
