I can't tell you how much I love this book! Many mysteries occur and everybody wants to know the answer to them. And the need becomes greater once a code arrives. A code seeming impossible to crack. Three very important questions thrive in Olive's head: what does this mean? What is going on? Where is my sister?

As refugees start flooding Devon, things get more and more difficult and the need becomes greater for the war to be over. Things get more and more complicated as things would when you are trapped in the middle of the second world war...

This book was great.this was a very exciting book that I couldn’t put down.

I'm giving this book a 4 because it was a very interesting book. I also like the fact that it is set in world war 2.I think that one thing the book could improve on is the ending but I would definitely recommend the author to carry on writing interesting books like this one.

I give this book 4 stars because i think that it is a excellent book and I love the part when Olive gets hurt and then gets back on her feet.The thing that the book could improve on is the ending because olive doesn't find Sukie other then that the book it execllent.

The good part in it was that it was very spooky and mysterious but it can be sometimes a bit boring, it might be better for a person that rather reads less adventure books.

This book didn't really catch my attention as I am not the type of person to enjoy this book. I wish the beginning could have been at bit more clear to what was going.

I really like that it was set in world war 2 and it was very mysterious!

This book was really good because it really emotional because it hasd a really sad story line

I really enjoyed this book as it has interesting chapters. This book reminds me of what it was like during WW2. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy realistic books with a touch of fantasy.

This book was quite good, it had lots of detail and was interesting as well. The reason I rated it 3 stars is because I kind of got lost at the end . I love the fact its based on WW2 because we are currently learning about it in class!

I absolutely loved this book and i literally could not but it down it was fantastic! if there was a book two i would definitely read it. I recently found out about a book called walking on air and i am going to read that next.

It was very nice

I usually don't like ww2 set book boot this was thrilling and adventerous and overall it was excellent.

This book is very interesting and enjoyable. The moral of the story is really nice and i totally reccomend it!! It was interesting bc it was set

in WW2 and we could see what its like to live in that time. :3 x3

I found this book breathtaking! It gave me an insight how families were affected during the war. It was heart-rending yet amazing because it revealed tragic events and euphoric moments that Olive and many other people have to go through.

I loved this book because it was so mysterious and I never wanted to skip a sentence. It had such a moving story: it takes you on an incredible journey through the life of an evacuated child in WW1. Once you start reading this amazing book, you will never be able to put it down.

This book was very good,once I got into it I could not stop!!!It was amazing you can really feel what it was like in world war 2.

This book is amazing! I rated this book 5/5 because of the adventure,excitement and it helps you to understand WW2 and what it was like being an evacuee.I recommend this to 10 year olds and above.

This book is a wonderful adventure book filled with action, courage and mystery.

When the protagonist Olive and her siblings (Cliff and Sukie) are caught in an air raid, their mother decides it is the right time for them to be evacuated. However, Sukie is missing, so Olive and Cliff travel alone to a small, coastal village in Devon.There, Olive solves many puzzels alongside her younger brother.

This book helped me to understand what it was like in WWII from many perspectives.

I really enjoyed solving all the puzzles as it gave my brain a real workout.

Overall, I would DEFINITELY recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure and puzzles.

I absolutely adored this book . I rated it a 5 out of 5 because of how amazing it was . I would recommend it to 10 years old and above because you need an understanding of what world war 2 was like .

I absolutely loved this book because it is about the world war 2.I recommend this book to people who like learning about history. I think this book is mainly for people aged 10 - 11 .This book made me understand about life in the world war 2. I liked this book because it is very interesting and makes me want to read on.

This book is a amazing! It is so heart warming and incredible.It's about a girl who has been evacuated with her brother and the town changes views on people so beautifully.This book also made me understand the life of a evacuee. I would recommend this book to any age group.

This book was a page turner;I thought it was really interesting as it was set in 1941 when bombs were set off and war was effecting everyone.I would recommend this book for people of all ages,who like books that were set in the past.

This book is really good because its really emotional which I like because I love emotional storys they are my favourite types of storys

I really liked this book because it is about World War 2. I like it when it is a happy ending. I would recommend this book for ages 10-11 because you need to understand all the vocabulary and bit o history about WW2. My favourite by far!

I loved this book! I recommend this to people who like historical-fiction books. It's based in the WWII times and it contains some facts about how you would feel if you was evacuated. This is probably my favourite book so far and I have read Dragon With a Chocolate Heart,The Explorer and this book. I hope that others will enjoy this book and feel the emotions I felt through-out this story.

At the start there was a brother and a sister and she is acting really wierd and it was because she sends letters to the light house and she is getting letters from the light house her self in then the brother finds out and he shocked. I liked how it is mysterious at the start and at the end.

I liked this book because it was very energetic and very happy. Whenever I went to bed I was feeling upset I read this book it made me very happy.

This book was amazing! The only reason I rated it 4/5 is because it made me cry too much! Cliff and Olive were the bravest kids I have ever seen! I couldn’t imagine leaving my home and leaving my family behind. I recommend this book to 10-12 year olds just because of the sophisticated phrases and description. Anyone who loves adventure and history should read this fantastic book now!

Letters from the lighthouse is a very heart warming book and once you get reading you cant stop!!!

Woah, this book was a-may-zing! I didn't think the front cover was that appealing at first but when I had read the first couple of pages I was absolutely hooked! I kept on thinking,'What happened to Suki?' It has a happy ending and I love it!

I liked this book because it was a book that i could not put down.The thing that i liked about it the most was when she reunites again with her sister Sukie because it is happy to see someone you have not seen for ages or that you have lost.

I loved Letters From The Lighthouse because I enjoy history, especially World War Two, which this book was about. It describes the settings exceptionally well and really immerses you into a World War Two as a child evacuee.

I would recommend this book to anyone, like me, who enjoys history. This story also teaches you to never give up no matter what; to always circle yourself with friends and look out for people you care about .I would give this book a full house.

Letters from the lighthouse is an amazing book .It is full of heart warming and heart breaking moments. Every page is interesting and the story flows perfectly. I loved this book so I am going to rate it five stars

This is a good book because when I picked it up I couldn't put it down. It is so interesting and I love it because its about world war 2 !

i love history .this is my favourite book and i can't say it can't be because it is the last book i needed to read and i have read it.

This was one of the best books I’ve read in my life. It’s packed with adventure and mysterious places and characters. At the end, it has a heartwarming moment when Mother, Cliff, Olive and Sukie reunited; and Sukie and Ephraim got to see each other again, as they are in love. This book deserves 5/5 if not a 10/5!!!!!!!

I loved it! We started reading a little bit in class and I had to wait for the Leeds Book Award books to arrive, and I knew that this book was the first book that I wanted to read. Plus, I love learning about World War 2 and this book sounded PERFECT! I loved this so much and I look forward to reading more of Emma's books!

I rated it five out of five because i love the storyline and it is a kind of book i love well done for writing it i hope you write more books

'Letters from the Lighthouse' is an incredible book with great description.

When their sister goes missing, Olive and Cliff are evacuated to the coast of Devon. They live in a Lighthouse with the grumpy lighouse-keeper,Mr Ephriam. But something seems fishy. it isn't the sea however; it's something else....

I wasn't that keen on this book but it was ok. The only thing i didn't like about it was the story line because it wasn't to my liking. Some of it was kind of sad which I didn't enjoy.My favorite part was probably the mystery aspect of it.

Letters from the lighthouse was good but it wasn't really the best book so I gave it a 4.

This book was amazing and emotional but I feel there was a little bit of the story that was missing which is why I rated four instead of five.

I really enjoyed this book,it was definitely best so far. It was so great that it made not just a picture in my head of what was going on but I felt like I was there Wow!!!

I loved this book because it contained facts about what life was like in WW2 whilst still being a piece of fiction.

I enjoyed this book however near the beginning I was sometimes confused, and little bits of the book was a bit boring but I enjoyed most of it. I recommend for those who love a classic, heart-warming book.

I thought this book was very good because I really like books like this because I like books what are quite old and when they get evacuated so I would definitely recommend this book to people aged 8-11.

I like it but it dosent explain what happens with Sukie and Ebram.

This book taught me a lot of things.Firstly loads of things about the war. Secondly the dangers and hardship everyone had to face. My grandma was alive in the war and now this really gav me an insight to how lucky I am to live without war. I enjoyed reading this and really liked the mystery involved in it. Overall this book is made the decision even harder as I enjoyed so many of the books. So I am rating it 5/5 for its history and just general grabbing atmosphere!!???

This book is brilliant because it shows what life would be like in world war 2.I rated this book a 4 because it had a very slow start.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries and unpredictible

stories.

I really liked this book and think that this is one of my favourite books. I would recommend this book to people who like adventurous books which have twists and turns in.

I didn't really enjoy this book because some of it was quite sad.When I started reading this book I sort of enjoyed it but when I got further into the book I found it quite sad and scary and didn't want to read on.

Letters from the Lighthouse! February 1941, Olive and her brother, Cliff are evacuated to the coast of Devon. The only person with a bed spare is Mr Ephraim the local lighthouse keeper. There they solve a mystery that some how links their sister to Devon!!

I really enjoyed the characters in the book and how you could picture them in your mind. This book would suit anyone who enjoys reading about history and WW2 time. There are lots of Surprises in the book and twists though the book but I really enjoyed it !!

Letters from the Lighthouse was one of the best books I have ever read!I enjoy reading books that are about Victorian and world war 2 books so this book is definitely my favorite (I even took it to the hospital to read while I was having my broken foot checked over). It was so good that when my mum shouted up for me to turn my light off I read it underneath my bed sheet! Thanks Emma Carroll a real page turner!

I thought this was an amazing book about world war two, I thought Olive was a very adventurous girl, and is very curious when her sister has gone missing in an air raid...

The main reason I rated this book 4 out of 5 was because I'm not very intrested in any books to do with sadness or drama, but it was still a good read to enjoy. I would only recommend this book who likes dramas etc. but not to people who don't like them:[

This book was the best book I have read and I rate it 5/5 because it kept me wanting to read on throughout the whole story. Olive goes to the cinemas and when sukie goes missing and sees her talking to a boy she wonders will she ever find her sister?

One of the best books I've ever read. A coded note leads Sukie to an incoming boat from Austria but she didn't return. Will Olive find Sukie or will it be left a mystery? Emma, can I say, leaves every book mysterious and on a cliffhanger. A brilliant book 5/5

I love this book. I think you should read this if you are feeling down because it shows that even if all hope is lost things can still go right.

I loved this book it was really exciting and I was in a thrall every moment of the book. My favourite character was Cliff and Pixie. My favourite part was when someone got angry because there were no biscuits.

My thought's on Letters from the lighthouse, are that it is very well thought through and it also helps everyone learn a valuable lesson. It was very emotional with family relationships and reunions. I love all of the tension and drama and stepping back in time. Adding onto that, Emma Caroll is also great at leaving a cliffhanger at every page you read.

I very much enjoyed this book because it is sad,funny and mysterious. I would recommend this book for anyone.

This book is probably one of my favorites. its a book about a girl (called olive)who is stuck in the middle of a war with her younger brother. This book is amazing but is also really sad. I would recommend this book to history lovers.

This book must have been one of the best books I've ever read!I love WW2. I find this book interesting and sad.Even though it was sad, I loved the story behind it.

I love this book its the best book ever ? Its a really good book you should read it if you haven't already.

This is my favorite book so far and it is probably going to stay like that because i love war things and the start is my favorite bit.

I thought this book was heart-warming but also heart-braking at the same time. I also loved the mystery aspect of the book. I also enjoyed it because it was set in WWII. Overall I enjoyed this book.

I really liked this book because it is about WWII and i really like books that are about the war they are very interesting and I also like it because while the war was going on her sister disappears and it makes the story more interesting.

I liked this book a lot because it was sad and fun at the same time, and i did not see the ending coming. I knew Olive knew who was behind it.;.]

WOW this book is amazing! I loved it because it took me into a world about the 2nd world war that I didn’t know anything about. I felt sorry for Olive and cliff being sent away, but thought olive was kind and very brave. It did give me nightmares though, of bombs dropping on my house!

At the start I found this book a little bit boring but I now find it really good. It is a great read

I rated this book 4 out of 5 because although I loved the mystery aspect of it, I felt it went on for a bit too long. My favourite part was where the Jewish refugees stood up to Mr. Spratt and insisted they should be arrested too.

Olive is a girl who is stuck in the middle of a war [with her younger brother Cliff].When their older sister mysteriously goes missing after a bomb explosion it is up to Olive and her brother to uncover the truth about what REALLY happened that night.Will she ever discover the truth? I rate this book five because i loved it from start to finish;i think it could be read by many people including some adults.This book is to do with history because of the war but in a more exciting way.That is why i want to read more of Emma Carroll's books and i am really looking forward to reading Who let the gods out? by Maz Evans.

Olive is a girl who is stuck in the middle of a war with Cliffe [her younger brother).

I really liked this book because I'm really in to WWII.I love the words she used in the book.I would love to be an author when I'm older or a teacher. At first it was so exciting but as it got to the end of the book it got a bit boring to the end.This is why I gave 4 out of 5.This is why I recommend you read it now!!!!!!!.

This was the best book ever! I would recommend it for anybody who's in this age group.Its about WWII! and I love learning about WWII! Its interesting and intense with all that's going on in the book!

I really love letters from the light house, its so mysterious and very interesting. I would like to say a very big thank you because this book is awesome, that is why I gave it a book rating of 5 out of 5. When I am older I want to be an author and write books like this very special one, Letters From The Lighthouse. I am very happy I took part in the Leeds book Awards.

I like the book because it was so adventurous and fun to read. Some people might have thought that this book is really bad but actually it's good. I haven't read this kind of book before.

This book is incredible I LOVED READING IT and at some bits I wanted to go into the book and help.

I really enjoyed reading this book. This book was my first book and I think this is one of the best book here because it has loads of description and it tells you what it is about. My favourite character has to be Cliff because he is very adventurous and he is very cheeky to Olive and Queenie. I would recommend this book to people who love Emily Carroll and who likes World War Two.

This is the most amazing book in the whole wide world ... it was so touching and ,mysterious . It gave ,me an example of what the war was like from a child's point of view therefore ,it is tempting to keep reading . I read this every night and I read two chapters but I always want to read another but it gets late . I always wish the day would go quicker so I can read the next two chapters!!! I recommend this to people who love mystery

Amazing! This is one of the best books I have read in my entire life. I rated this book a 5 because it is set in the world war and I really love the characters. My favourite character is sukie. I would really like a second book and would love to see what could happen next!

I really love this book and I would recommend this book to 7-11 year olds; it dragged me through a rollercoaster of a few emotions. My favourite character is probably, no definitely, Olive because she just has a lot of humour and enthusiastic.

This book is my favourite book so far since it was full of drama and comedy but at the the same time it was really sad... My favourite character was called Sukie because she was a secret spy and she was very mysterious.The setting was in World War two and it was about the evacuee children. Sukie was spying for the German Air force and it cost lives because of it, EVEN part of her family were killed in the process so what will happen next?

Following a bombing in London some children were evacuated to live with a strange lighthouse keeper whilst they were there, there was a strange mystery to solve about their sister Sukie and who was the man she met up with in the time of the bombing?

In Devon Olive had a mystery to solve, a strange coded note that links Sukie to Devon and to something so dangerous it's almost impossible.

I didn't really enjoy reading this book and taught it was a bit boring. I will recommend this book to 10-12. Overall I would rate this book 2/5

THIS BOOK IS THE MOST LOVELIEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.

If I could rate this a 6 i totally would!

:)

The book had me enthralled from the very beginning;I was fascinated by the confusing codes and mind-baffling mystery.The WW2 theme had me highly interested...Not only does it teach you about the Wars,it leaves you wanting to read MORE.

It was like a war trying to put the book down it was so entertaining.

LETTERS FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE is a heart-warming book full of mystery and suspense.It helps you imagine what it would be like to be a Jew,a refugee AND be an Evacuee!

Emma Carroll is a wonderful author...Hopefully she will write more stories like this!

;)

This is an amazing book, there was always a hint of mystery all the way through,that kept my hooked till the very end! I hope everyone has the chance to read this book because it is amazing. I would recommend this book from anyone in the ages of 10 to 13. Not only is it interesting it helps you learn about WW2 and what it was like back then it helps you understand how evacuees would of felt. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

I gave this book a 5 out of 5 because this book was the best so far .I liked it because it was very mysterious. It was amazing!My favorite character was Olive because she was a friend to everyone and she was very kind.:):)

If i could rate it a 6 i would!!!IT WAS ENTERTAINING!

I really enjoyed the book because of the mystery and action and I really like how they put a book into world war 2 theme. Also I really like how characters at the start that wasn't the best turned out to be some of the best and most helpful characters in the book. This book is absolutely amazing and world war's is always an exciting theme.

I think this book was great it kept me on edge the whole time from one thing to the next what makes me laugh is were learning about wartime in school and to read about it in a book is just fantastic. Wartime has always been a fun theme but you never think about being an evacuee just soldiers.

I really enjoyed this book because it was mysterious. My favorite character was Olive because she cared about every one, even the injured German pilot. I liked the bit where Olive and Esther helped a refugee's boat. I didn't like the bit where people didn't want to help the German pilot and where saying awful stuff about him. Overall, I gave this book 5/5 because it was exciting and I would really want to read it once more!!:)

i loved this book: i loved the war theme's tension and the way the story came together at the end. it was also a surprise to find out that esther was jewish, and that olive's mum was mrs. 'arby' and was involved in getting the 32 refugees from france to budmouth point.

This book is very absorbing, sensitive and genuinely magical. It is rich in thrilling details, adventurous, engaging and perfect for captivating imaginations. If you haven't discovered this book, you are really missing out! I'd say this book is suitable for children aged from 9-12.

This book is very absorbing, sensitive and genuinely magical. It is rich in thrilling details, adventurous, engaging and perfect for captivating imaginations. If you haven't discovered this book, you are really missing out! I'd say this book is suitable for children aged from 9-12.

This was the best book I have read so far. I really liked it because it was mysterious and there were lots of clues along the way. I would recommend this book for the 9-11 category therefore this is a good book to be on this age shortlist. This book has made me want to buy more of Emma Carroll's books.

This book is very good and funny i like the setting and the time.

I think this book was awesome because it brought tears to my eyes.My favourite part was when Sukie came to Devon.There was lots of sad parts in this story.So that's why I give it 5 stars.

I would not rally recommend this book and I would not say it is my favourite book.Although it is amazing it is not the book for me.And this book is for people who want to find out what happend in the war.

I rated this a 3 because I thought the start was a bit slow and boring but when I got into it the story line was fun and thrilling.

I liked the book because of the world war theme and there was always something going on. I like it how it gives you a feeling of what it was like in WWII. I would recommend this to any history lovers.

it is a really good book and it is good for people that like mystery and

ww2.

I really enjoyed reading and would really recommend it to quite a lot of peoplebecause how it explains the feeling in words. It was heart-touching.

This book is amazing!Its a very emotional story and it teaches you about ww1.My favourite character is all of them because they are all great!This is one of my favourites.

I LOVE THAT THIS BOOK IS SET IN WAR TIMES. its a lovely story with mystery's. It has a lot of wonderful adjectives and noun phrase. Plain wonderful.

I loved this book.I thought this was the best book out of them all

This book is amazing! It is very emotional and it teaches you about WWII. I loved this book because it describes the characters really well. My favourite character has to be Olive because she is very brave. I wish this book never ended; its amazing! This is my favourite book so far.

With suspenseful mysteries, and plot twists around every corner, this book is AMAZING! I already love books like this, set in WWII, but this book was by far the best. I am excited at the opportunity of meeting Emma Carol at the Leeds Book Awards. If Emma Carol sees this, you are AWESOME!!! {~*_*~}

I love this book because of the way Emma Caroll sets the storyline out

This book is a very sad story with a happy ending. Good description thank you Emma Carroll

I think this book has lots of excitement and pauses in it that's why I would give it 5 out of 5.But I didn't because it also has lots of sadness in it, so I gave the book 4 out of 5.I would recommend this book to children aged 7 or over. I really enjoyed this book and I think you will too, so why not give it a go.

I have loved Letters from the Lighthouse!It is so mysterious and adventure-like!I have not read many mystery books but now I have I definitely like them especially this one!

This book is very exciting : being fast paced and slow at times. The characters are really relatable ; I didn't want to put it down!

This was a book based about war and her sister was a very shady interesting character. Altogether this is a boook that I would highly recommend and suggest children 10-12 years old.

I thought this book was amazing. As this book is about WW2 and we our doing that topic in school. It is about a child who goes missing and these two children have to solve this mystery whilst a war is happening.This book made me keep turning the pages and not wanting to put it down.

This book is about a girl and and her brother Cliff get evacuated to Devonshire coast.Her sister Sukie went missing and and they think the Lighthouse has something to do with it.

this book is really entertaining book.i would reccomend to people who are really intrested in the world war.this such a reallllllllllllly good booook.

the first was quite a shock.so just read this book.

I really enjoyed this book. At the start when there is a disaster the words make you feel rather touched. Emma Carroll used great emotional language to make you feel how the characters feel. Over all this was a great book.

Letters from the Lighthouse is an amazing book. It was very emotional and full of deep feelings. I absolutely loved the war theme, and how everything came together at the end of the book. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who loves reading because it is amazing.

WOW JUST WOW!

This book is just amazing. I have never read a book like this it is just amazing. I love WW2 and this book just everything I love inside it. This book is also very surprising when I found out that one sukie went missing two when they were evacued three when they found out Esther was Jueish. This book was very emotional and very deep. Everything about this book is amazing and I cant think of anyone who has written a book just like this one. WOW Emma Carroll you made a book that I love.

I really enjoyed this book- it is a very heart warming story and is well written with lots of WW2 vocabulary and facts. It is very realistic and I would recommend it to ages 9+ because it can be quite challenging to read.

This book is absolutely fantastic it made me upset

I enjoyed this book. I really liked the World War theme and how it gives you a feeling of what it would be like if you were in that situation. It was very interesting and a quite likeable book. I would recommend Letters From The Lighthouse for people who like the World War/historic subject.

I thought it was a wonderful read. The build up was gripping. I never got tired of the book. I recommend this to anyone who likes mystery, codes and surprises. I rating it 5/5 as it had everything you would want from a book.

I like this book because it made me feel like I was in the book. I would recommend this book for any age over 7 as it is about the war.

I really liked this book because it wasn't just the text inside the book. But also it was the front cover that made me want to read it.If i am honest it is properly my favourite book i have read so far!

A very welcoming and heart-warming book. A very interesting start and then it went off track as started talking about totally different topics. In my opinion, I didn't really like it as I don't like this style of book all about war. I would recommend this book to someone who likes a War story line. My favourite part was when they went to the cinema at the beginning as it is a gripping start to the story. I would reccomend this book to people seven years and over.

An exciting mystery filled with wonder;it's a book I'd read again.

It's worth 5 stars.

DEFINITELY 5 STARS it's soooo good definitely read it.

I found the start very exiting. It is very sad in the middle. But all is good at the end.

its boring in the middle and gets amazing again

++++++++

This book is good but space to improve. I like the characters but not the theme I just do not really like WWII and all that. Over all this book very well written!

I loved how it was set when war broke out because it add a lot of drama. It was pretty boring in the middle but then it gets amazing again.

Now it was a good book. I found it hard to connect with the characters the main moral I found a bit weird. But the upsides are it is a well thought out story I can tell and it is a good classic because the war idea is quite a common use in books I think she's done well to make it different war story.

This book was good but it didn't quite grip me. I like the ending though the start was not brilliant and the middle was alright. At some points it lost me and at others it really piced up.

this book is amazing it i8s the best book I have ever read and it has a lot of twist and it is very surprising . it is about war but it does noy mentioned very much

This was a very pleasant book ;very emotive. However sometimes it becomes a bit boring . It has a great story line ; in between the big bits it could use more action , more excitement. I give this book a strong two - it was lovely to read but it was not my cup of tea .

This was the 1st Leeds Book Award book I read.

Letters from the Lighthouse is full of mystery, emotion, and surprise. I enjoyed the middle the most because it kept me hooked in.

If I didn't have to read it, I might have still chosen it after reading the blurb on the back.

If you love danger and mystery this book is perfect for you.

My favourite part is when olive and Esther become friends instead of foe.

My favourite character is cliff olives brother.As i said whoever loves mystery this book is positively for you.

I feel that this book has a very touching and heart-warming story to it;I also like how the author uses words,phrases and other related WW2 facts.Overall,I feel that this book is a fantastic story and I recommend this to teachers as a class novel when are learning about WW2.

I liked this because it connected me with the story.I would definitely recommended this story to anybody who liked non-fiction book.my favourite character was Ephraim because he was a very interesting person

This book was a very exciting read

It was full of suspense and tension and I also like the way it is set in 1941 in WW2 and how it felt for kid as to be evacuated in that time.

This is an amazing book and I really like it and my favourite character was Virgo and in three words this book is hilarious heartfelt and adventurous. I would recommend it to anyone who would like adventure. The age group I would recommend it to is 8 to 12. My favourite chapter is the first one because it just starts the mysteries of. This is totally the book for people who like mysteries.

The description and drama in the book was pretty good but it wasn't reall my style of book.

This book is AMAZING !!! I absolutely loved it. It was a very unexpected ending but I loved it it was filled with lots of different emotions. I really recommend this book. And if you like history you will really enjoy this book! I loved it so much.

I really love letters from the lighthouse. It is such a amazing book! It is so suspenseful and you don't know what is going to happen. There is lots of interesting twists and turns. My favourite character is Olive because she never gives up and she is very brave. I rate this book a 5 out of 5 because I couldn't put it down after the minute I started it.

This book is fab it really catches the world war 2 vibe and how it was like to live there.Its tension graph is up down,down then up again it really is an emotion ride.It's like this book takes you on an actual adventure.

I really enjoyed reading this book because I like reading books that are a bit like the World Wars 1 and 2. I found this book really intriguing and interesting, I'd love to read it again!!!

I found this book really entertaining because it gave the right amount of description and it taught me lots about the Second World War. However, because of everything that was happening in the book it was quite hard to follow. It was the best book I had read in a long time.

I thought this book was amazing and really explained what it was like to live in World War 2. The characters were amazing, amount of drama was astounding! It definitely deserves 5 stars and this book is the best book I've read so far!

It was a mistake to go to the cinemas with Sukie that night especially after she went missing...

Olive and Cliff were evacuated to Devon and whilst living in a lighthouse they discover many things such as what the mysterious note that their sister(Sukie) received meant.

I mostly admired Olive because when they were evacuated,she met a Jewish girl, Esther and from enemies they became best friends. When I opened I felt as if I was there running on the beach with Esther and Olive rescuing the Jewish people in the middle of the night. I was determined to turn every page to find new adventures and that is why I gave this book a score of 5/5. I would recommend this book to lovers of mystery and adventure.

WHAT A FANTASTIC READ THIS WAS!!! It will go down in history as one of my best books ever!

I felt like I was there with Olive, Cliff and Sukie in London during the 2nd world war. I noticed the anxiety well up inside me when Sukie went missing in the air raid and the children were evacuated to Devon. It was like slowly unscrewing the lid off a fizzy pop bottle as the plot was revealed bit by bit (bubble by bubble) which captured my interest throughout – and that is no mean feat!! The move to Queenie’s house (Sukie’s supposed pen-pal) was not all that it seemed. A jumble of coded messages, spies, refugees and secrets ends in the family being re-united in a truly breath-taking story which I give 5 out of 5 and would recommend for ages 9 and over.

This book held my interest because it had plenty of drama. For example, evacuations and spies. I like the ending because there is a reunion and this made me smile. If you like books set in the past you will like this book.

I would recommend this book because it was really interesting.Throughout the book the emotion changed and this kept me interested. The book was based on a real life situation and the characters were believable. I liked the ending because everything came together nicely.

I loved this book and it is my favourite book so far. I liked it because it's about real life events that have been turned into a thrilling adventure.My favourite part is when all the secrets start to unfold near the end. My favourite character is Sukie because she is brave and very clever. She is also a mystery throughout the book because nobody knows where she is.

I enjoyed this book because I enjoy books about real life situations and war books really help me understand what happend my favourite character is Sukie

it was a very gripping and detailed story. the characters are easy to relate to, fun and each one is different. the story is shocking with LOTS of plot twists.

what i would say is that it takes a while to get into it, its quite slow paced, and i found it quite hard to read in places without wanting to put the book down.

despite this, i found the ending amazing and would read more of the authors books.

This is a heartwarming story in a world where anything can happen.My favourite character is Olive because she is brave and courageous.I really enjoyed this book. It had really intriguing parts where you just didn't want to stop reading. On the other hand, there were parts I didn't find interesting, parts that I wanted to skip.I would recommend this book to anyone who likes reading about the WAR.I would definately rate it 4/5.

I found this book very enjoyable to read;I love reading war stories like this one! My favourite part was when everyone from the boat was safe and also when Sukie was found.

This book was a fabulous read. I really felt moved after reading it. It showed that no matter what we look like or what religion we are we all deserve the same opportunity's and should all be treated the same. Emma Carroll is a truly wonderful author and has her readers hooked in from the first page!

I really enjoyed this book. It had really intriguing parts where you just didn't want to stop reading. On the other hand, there were parts I didn't find interesting, parts that I wanted to skip but I carried on and it got better. My favourite part was the last 50 pages because there is a lot of surprising events that happen at the end. The main characters from the beginning are Olivia (Olive) and Cliff, her younger brother. As the story goes on, you meet some more characters that become main characters as well. for example: Esther, Ephraim and Queenie. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys war-based drama books or just anyone who likes action packed novels.

This is a fabulous book and I think I would really recommend it to people who enjoy books which have war in it. I think what makes this book amazing s that is has all of he description for you to imagine. This is my 3rd favourite book and my favourite character is sukie because she is very sensible and mature in my opinion.

This is a heart warming story in a world where anything can happen.My favorite character is Olive because she is brave and courageous.This is a great book for 9-11 year olds

A very heart-warming book that had me captivated on its every word. I would like to read more books by this author as this one was like nothing else I have ever read. Its unique twists and story line make this by far one of my favourite books. I would highly recommend this book for ages 10+ due to its complex vocabulary and topics (World War 2).

I really enjoyed this book as the description is really detailed and the story line was very interesting(there was never a page I didn't like). It makes me reflect on what it was like to live during World War 2. This book is my favourite from the short-list so far

I highly recommend this book for ages 10+ as the vocabulary is sometimes difficult to understand and you need to know a little bit about World War 2.

This book was so great I could not put it down! It took me through a roller-coaster of emotions, from excitement to tears. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a tear-jerker. I really felt like I was a part of the story.

Emma Carrol has released the highs and horrors of the war in perfect literature. I was drawn by the first page till the last word

This book drew me in as soon as I turned the first page ,also it’s filled with drama and emotion .

This book is such a great,gripping and a must read.I think Olive is so kind and caring towards her brother and others around her, she couldn't care less about herself.The mystery behind the book and the code that Olive has to crack is so interesting can you crack the code that Olive must do?

This book was sad at the beginning but I really enjoyed the book because Olive is adventurous and I like exploring. Even though Olive hated the Germans, she helped a German pilot.

letters from the lighthouse is about WW2 bombs in London.12 year old Olive and her little brother Cliff are Evacuated to Devon coast and they stay with lighthouse keeper Mr Ephraim Olive becomes his post-girl and gives secret letters to the town. Sadly her sister Sukie went missing but Olive finds a strange coded note that leads Sukie back to Devon

This is a brilliant book. The start of the book is very sad but it ended up being one of the best books I have ever read. I like the part when Olive helped a boat of people come. My also liked the part when Sukie finds herself with her family in Budmouth point. I recommend it for year 5 and over

This is a gritty book which you can really get in to. It has lots of mystery with a heart warming ending. Most of the characters are believable but Gloria is hard to get to know. I would recommend it because it teaches you.

This book is about a sister and a brother called Olive and Cliff in 1942 find there older sister talking to a person just before an air raid and they don't see her again. They then get evacuated to the Devon coast and find themselves in an operation to save some Jews from Hitlers grasp.A exciting and book gripping story full of fun, terror and friends...

This book is cool and really serious my favourite part is Hitler will send no warning because it is a good head line and the best part on that page is were its going to the edge of the cliff with the suitcase. It just is an amazing chapter and I love it. My thing to improve on is make more exciting because its quite dull and dark but I like the part wear it talks about the treehouse and my favourite character is Queenie she is a good character because she likes to not show her sadness.

This book is about a girl who has loss her sister they get evacuated to a strange lighthouse keeper. In this book there are a lot of cliffhangers that makes me want to find out what happens next.

A sensational book,really grips you.I didn't expect to enjoy it but I loved every bit of.I also admired Olives brave personality and she helped those in need.

This book is a very sad at the beginning but slightly happier. i like the fact that Olive always helps people even though she doesn't like them. Despite the fact Olive hated the Germans, she helped an German pilot. Also the great Olive is very adventurous and always has a positive attitude. I'd recommend this book year 5 and over.

I think this book was very well written as it added the panic of the war. I also thought that the plot twist was very unexpected and the blurb didn't give much away. It knew how to grab the emotions and make you read more.

I would rate this book 100 out of 5, but because I can't do that, I say 5.

You really get to know Olive, and feel like you are embarking on the heart-warming journey with her; travelling to a mysterious village, going to live in a tumbledown lighthouse with a secretive owner and meeting a bullying girl with a suprising background. This book is a brilliant read that includes every emotion and, although it is set in WW2, still effects our lives today, in how we treat the people around us.

I am rating a 4 out of 5 because it was boring at some points but great at other points like when Cliff was about to die.Sometimes i would sit in bed reading all nights to see what would happen next

Letters from the lighthouse is a story set in world war 2. It was a bit slow at start but I soon picked it up. It is one of my favourite books I have read in a while. It was like I was a character in the story. It is about children who have to evacuate and live in a lighthouse. It made me think it must of been scary to leave their home and live somewhere else but a fantastic adventure. I would truly recommend this to children who like history and mysteries.

One of my favourite books ever! I got into it from the very beginning and I loved it. It was full of adventure, mystery and even some history. Esther was a great character who I earned a lot and changed to become kind by the end. I would recommend this book to anyone I know!

This is an interesting novel by Emma Carrol; if you like books set in history, this is a great book for you because it is set in world war II. Olive and Cliff are sent away to live with a woman, age 15, called Queenie. Their sister Sukie has gone missing; she was last seen down a side street with a man giving her a secret code! After Sukie had gone missing, Olive found the secret code in the pocket of the coat Sukie had been wearing; now it is up to her and Cliff the crack the code before time runs out !

I gave this book 5 out of 5 because it is absorbing and thought-provoking! I recommend this book for children age 9 and up!

I lOVED this book! The plot to the characters was amazing. I loved how the author described the characters feelings. And brought the reader into a world of imagination and creativity. This really made me imagine what it looked like and how WW2 was . Overall I would definitely recommend this book to others!

This book is very interesting I would recommend this book for people who like ww2 the book is about evacuees who go to a light house

This is one of my favourite books.Since I am 10 reading through this I didn't know a lot of the meanings of words now I do. I would definitely recommend this book, it's sad but at the same time happy,the ending is a happy ending though. At first I didn't like Esther but as I kept reading she became moe loving and kind. Definetely read this book! 😍 I loved that the family got reunited at the end, and that they finally saw Sukie again.

I enjoyed the book and I think Emma Carroll is a talented writer. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves war-themed book. My favourite character is Sukie. I would definitely read it again.

While I was reading this book it was sad but also a great story. At the end it was my favourite bit because they were reunited with Sukie, they were there as a family in Budsmouth. At first I wasn't keen on Esther but as the book went along she got more kind and loving. As a 10 year old during this book you find out a lot more words you've never heard off, which is amazing. It is one of my favourite books!

I really loved reading this book I loved every part of it. Near the end of this book it was very sad but I still really enjoyed reading it.

This book is amazing! It centres around Olive and cliff, evacuees during WW2, who find a coded message from their missing sister Sukie. The book is an excellent mystery mingled with an interesting time period, however the ending is too predictable and too 'happily ever after'.

I've really enjoyed this book but the beginning is a little anti-climatic. The first main event was really confusing but as the story went on, I was starting to understand it. There are a lot of cliff hangers and tense moments which add to the great storyline. All the time which I spent with my nose in this book really paid off when I finished it. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure, history and emotional stories. This is a fantastic book, I would love to read more books by Emma Carroll.

i would recommend this book because it teaches you about wwII and its like you are really there

The book is about a boy who delivers letters during WW2.He delivers them for people who are sending them to people who can't get them to the place they need to be. He is evacuated to a lighthouse where he lives with his brothers and sisters. Then he gave Jews a little hand and at the end then he had a party. I liked about the book that it is adventurous and I also liked it when they helped the Jews out. I also liked the book because as soon as I read the first page I couldn't stop reading the others. My favourite character is Olive because she came up with the idea of helping the Jews. However, I didn't like the bit when a German pilot crashed and people were shouting don't help him. As a result, I loved the book and I would relate it to The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. I would highly recommend this book to a younger person 9-12 because it is set in WW2.

A great book! WW2 themed and amazing! In my class, we're learning about it and this book helps! The detail,plot and the few twists are great as this makes the story good. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

It had a slow start but when it got going, I really enjoyed this book.

I found it interesting because it made me understand what it would have been like to leave home in world war 2. But it also made me feel sad for the way the Jews were treated.However In the end it had a very happy ending.

Really good book.Anyone who likes WW2 will LOVE this.I recommended this to my friend who loves WW2. The only think I do not like it that the ending is boring although it is quite a good book!

This is an enjoyable novel, which was a fiction. I think this is the best out of all books on the list. I would personally like to meet the author in person on the Leeds Book Awards day when the authors are congratulated and given an award. It was about a girl named "Olive" who was in the middle of a WW2 battle. She was bombed at the theater and didn't know where her sister went. Could she find her sister?

It is an amazing book, I would read it again the reason i gave it four was because at the begging where its just telling me about them going to the cienema, was a bit boring but once I got into it, it was very interesting great book

This has immediately become my favorite book! So mysterious , so adventurous I love it! This book deserves five stars and i would recommend this book to lots of people to read as well! This book is about a time long ago when something bad happened... Its quite an old book with old names like Sukie, Cliff and Olive! So if any kids out there want to be a detective and kind of want an idea about what it is like then this is the book for them!

When a girl called Olive is whisked away to Devon many problems occur. The reason why i rated this a 3 out of 5 is because some of the decisions are not realistic and also it just isn't my kind of book.I recommend this book to people who like adventure and history

I was stunned by the plot line, also the book was heart warming and adventurous. This book was really acceptable; I advise the author to keep on writing books like this one. I felt the affection between me and the smooth pages, I really recommend this book to admires of war and fantasy.

I really enjoyed reading this book . It is full of adventure and I would recommend this book to everyone I know .My favourite character is Cliff because he is brave and reliable . I give Letters from the lighthouse 5 out of 5.

I loved this book it is amazing and adventurous I would highly recommend it to a person who likes adventure and and history this book is perfect for me because it is set in WW2 and I am learning about ww2 in class it is a lovely book well done Emma you did amazing at writing the book you got 5 out of 5 from me 👍👍👍👍👍❤💛💚💙💜📖

I love the affection between Olive and her older sister Sukie. The dog Pixie is an adventurous pup and I never knew a DOG CAN CLIME A LADDER!!!

An amazing book that I would recommend for all ages. A definite read for anyone into codes or WW2. It is all about secrets, refugees and evacuees and a brilliant book for any point in the day / any day of the week. The Bradshaw are sent away from home to a mysterious lighthouse keeper who knows more than he lets on at first. Once again it is such a good book and everyone should give reading it a go. Definitely one of my favourite books ever.

The first page sucked me into the dangerous life of the Bradshaws. It was very emotional and amazing.I would recommend this book to people who like the war genre or emotional books.This is one my favourite books.Emma Carrol has written a wonderful book.

I absolutely loved and it was a mix between a sad and happy book. The author put in tension at the right time and my favourite character was Sukie.

This book is incredible so far as soon as I saw this book I was like I need this sooooooo much. I love letters from the lighthouse I recommend it. Even though I am a slow reader it is still so good. Recommended for 9-11 year olds. Emma Carroll is an amazing author.

I LOVE THIS BOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKK. I mainly chose it because of the fact it was set in WW2! For anyone with a historical taste this is the book for you. I'm a bit worried for Sukie though! NO SPOILERS

😆😆😆😆💁🏼💁🏼💁🏼💁🏼🐶🐶🐶🐶🐼🐼🐼🐼🦁🦁🦁🦁🦄🦄🦄🦄🐰🐰🐰🐰

This is one of my absolute favourite books that I've read in a long time! It's set in World War 2 Britain and tells the story of Olive and Cliff, who evacuate to a Lighthouse and have to face all the adventures it brings. Despite being away from home themselves they offer help and support for others in a very similar situation. It's bursting with compassion, kindness and courage, from the second you pick it up, you won't want to put it down.

This book is about 3 siblings, Sukie, Cliff and Olive surviving world war ii, but right from the very start disaster strikes : An air raid. Sukie goes missing, Cliff and Olive have to evacuate to Devon where everyone seems to be mysterious in their own way. Olive finds a strange coded note which seems to link to Sukie. I couldn't put this book down!!

Very good book lots of action in it. I especially liked it when they came together as a family and respected the refugees

I realy enjoyed this book because it seemed a bit like a diary so you could actually see what it was like to be Olive.Its brilliant because some things change and some things dont.It has secrets that you cant even guess before you finish the last page.

Letters from the lighthouse was a brilliant book.I would recommend this book to 9-14 year old`s . Olive was very brave and thoughtful .It must be very hard to be an evacuee.

I love Letters from the lighthouse so much! It Is my favourite book from the whole shortlist! It is so exciting, gripping and it has lots of twists and turns. I couldn't put it down! My favourite character is Olive because she is so brave and courageous also, she would do anything to save her little brother. I rate this book a five out of five.

Letters from the Lighthouse is a heart warming story set during world war 2 . It is a tale of an evacuee and is about how she copes.I found this book so easy to get into and it was like I was there with the character, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes tales of adventure and mystery.

Letters from the Lighthouse is a fantasy book set in World War II. Three siblings: two sisters, Sukie and Olive and a brother Cliff. They go for a night at the cinema when their mum is at work. As an air raid begins everyone is evacuated. Sukie, the eldest sister, meets a mysterious male and disappears. Sukie’s coat is found in hospital, is she dead or alive? Later on, a secret code is found in Sukie’s jacket. Will they crack the code and find Sukie or will it be an ongoing mission …

I liked this book becauseit is about evacuees and a lighthouse keeper named ephraim. The evacuees are called olive and her brother cliff and her older sister sukie goes missing which makes it mysterious.My favouritist character is olive because shes nosey and wants to know everything.You will like this book if you like adventures.You wont like this book if you like calm books.

This book is amazing. It is heart-warming yet breath-taking.

Olive, Cliff, Sukie and their mum went to the movies that night but a bomb blasted and her sister Sukie went missing. Sukies pen pal is Queenie. Or is it? They got evacuated to Devon where they live in a light house. She finds a secret note in the pocket of her sister’s coat. It was a secret code. Olive works out the code but is it too late? If you like mystery books than this is the book for you. Recommended for ages 10 years and over.

This book is a World War 2 story. It is about a girl who is evacuated from London to Devon. I like this book as it is a real page turner and it made me feel intrigued to keep reading. My favourite character in this story is Olive because she is very nosey, trying to listen to everyone's conversations, just like me. As I read, it was like I was her best friend, doing everything together. I didn't like parts of story as it was sad, as she had to leave her family. I think this will fit with readers who are enjoy mystery books.

I think this book has been really well made. The build up is really strong and the end is very sweet. The writer has done very well. Sometimes the build up is too much and then drops. I highly recommend this book.

this book was about 2 evacuees which were called olive and cliff and they got sent to a lighthouse in Devon. I liked this book because it sent me through different emotions, so it keeps me turning over the pages. I also liked this book because at the end of each page it was a cliff-hanger, it made me want to read on. my favourite character is olive because she was very outgoing and very brave.as I was reading this book I felt like it was happening right in front of my face. I would recommend this book for people who like adventurous stories. I would also recommend you buy this book because it was awesome

This book is about 2 girls and a young boy.1 of the girls get lost in an air raid.The other girl and the boy get evacuated to live with a young teenage girl.My favorite character personally was Olive because she was really brave.The whole story felt extremely real like it was in front of me.For every part of the story it kept me guessing.My favorite part of the book was when the family reunited because they were finally together.The story gripped me and kept me turning the pages when it was very tense.I really wanted to know what would happen next as soon as i stopped.I loved everything about this book.I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries.

This book is about two evacuees during the war and they get sent to a mysterious lighthouse keeper in Devon.I like this book because you dont know what is going to happen and its a page turner.Olive was my favourite character because she is eager and doesnt let anything stand in her way.My favorite part of the book is that its mysterious. In would recommend this book for people who like mysterious books and adventure books.

I enjoyed the twists and the plot line but I wish it had more detail within the story. Olive, the main character was interesting because she was determined but she could also be stubborn too! I hope the author keeps writing more stories -I would recommend it to my friends who like adventure/mysteries.

This book was absolutely AMAZING! It has all you would want in an adventure story.

An adventureous big sister, an annoying little brother, a mysterious lighthouse keeper, a bad lifeguard and lots more. I really enjoyed this book because i am really into historical fiction. I would recomend this book to peple who are into WW2 and historical fiction.

this book was really good well more than good i loved how it was a war related because i love war this book was fantastic and i liked the idea of them painting the light house so it is camouflage from the planes,also how they were nice to Jerry as they call the Germans when the plane came down. my Favorited character was Sukie because she stood up and helped people.

1941. World War 2 has been under way for 2 years. Olive's sister Sukie goes missing in an air raid. She makes it her mission to find her. Before she can start searching, Olive and her younger brother Cliff are evacuated to Devon. Here they meet Queenie, Sukie's pen-pal. Perhaps she is the key to finding Sukie. Queenie, however, is not everything Olive imagined her to be. Letters from the lighthouse. Strange radio conversations. Clocks set at ten minutes past two. How do all these link? Does Sukie fit into this puzzle? Can Olive and Cliff save their sister?

If you like a great mystery story written with true passion and so realistic that you feel like you're there, then this really is the book for you! Despite the dull start and somewhat confusing story line, this novel gets going, revealing it's secrets along the way. It's sure to keep you turning the pages.

This was a breath-taking novel about the darkest years of world history.It was a riveting read and I would certainly read it again.I could pick this book up and it would take me on an adventure as if I was in this roller coaster of emotions story.It was about three siblings who lived in the city of London during the war, and were evacuated to live in a little village called "Budmouth Point". Before these siblings were evacuated, during an air raid in London their eldest sister went missing. Something at this new village is very suspicious, and the two other siblings are desperate to find out more.

I would definitely give this book a well-deserved 5 out of 5 and I hope other people would rate this too.

Letters from the lighthouse is a novel by Emma Carol. It takes you on an amazing adventure about a girl named Olive and her younger brother Cliff. When their older sister Sukie goes missing in an air raid suddenly everything goes wrong. They are evacuated and live with many different people, all who have secrets of their own. A coded note is the only clue. Can they and will they crack the code? All the way through there is constant excitement and the book is a definite page turner. I give it 5 out of 5 stars all the way through. I recommend it to people who love hearing stories with excitement and mystery, so why not give it a go?
