This book was pretty good. I liked the fact that it is based on a real story set in the 1800s. It gives a nice amount of detail and describes his life very nicely. You should read it.
It's mostly about a boy called Jim Jarvis. When the Landlord comes Jim's sisters, his mum and himself have to move out of their little room because they can't pay for it. Soon after, his mother dies and his sisters get given to a friend of his mum-Rosie. He gets sent to the Workhouse.

I recommend this book to everyone. We had this book as a class book and I really enjoyed it. It's about a boy called Jim Jarvis who lived in the Victorian era. He was poor and his family got kicked out of their rented room. He was sent to the workhouse and later escaped. He was then found and rented by a man who worked on a coal barge and Jim was forced to work very hard. On his second attempt, Jim escaped from the man too and later went too see a man called Barnie who wanted to help the homeless children who were living on the streets.

Jim tries to escape Grimy Nick and meets Barnie (Which is Jim's name for him, ) at the end. Heartwarming and heartbreaking, this is a very inspiring and gripping victorian book.

I thought this book was great! We had it as a class book to read over the half term. At first, I had mixed feelings about this book but as I read the first page, I was completely hooked. The book is about a boy called Jim Jarvis (this book is set in Victorian times) who becomes homeless is then sent to the workhouse, and lves in different places. He meet new friends and has two sisters: Lizzie and Emily and his mother. I think this book was quite dark at the start but eventually becomes a happy ending.

Jim Jarvis liked to run away. It was hard in the 1860s,people used young boys like him to work in hot dangerous workhouses. All he wanted was his two sisters and his mother. Just as he escaped the cruel grimey Nick took him away and his dog snipe to guard Jim from escaping.

I thought this book was sad and miserable but also exciting in a way. It made me feel like what was going to happen next.

I really enjoyed this book because you learn how tough life was for poor children in Victorian times. The workhouse sounded horrible and I wouldn't want to go there. Children had to steal from richer families just to get food and sometimes they got caught and were punished.

After Jim escaped from the workhouse life didn't get better for him and he was still treated badly. He was forced to work with Grimy Nick shovelling heavy coal all day long with no breaks at all. Grimy Nick didn't give Jim enough food and sometimes the dog got more food than him.

At the end of story it tells you about how he met Dr Barnado, a kind man who wanted to help poor children and that is where Jim lived and got an education.

Just when Jim finds some friends he is snatched away and made to work for the remorselessly cruel Grimy Nick, constantly guarded by his vicious dog, Snipe.

This book made me feel Sad, Scared

I didn't like it that much actually I didn't just get straight into it infact I never did.
My favorite paragraph was the workhouse chapter some people may like that book but it's just not one for me.

This book made me feel bored

I thought this was a moving book, which is based on a true story about a boy called Jim Jarvis and his early life in the Victorian era. Jim and his family could not pay the rent of a hotel . They were kicked out and Jim's siblings were sent to live with their mother's friend. Jim and his mother were sent to the workhouse.

This book made me feel Moved

I have mixed feeling on this book. Even though I loved the story and the way its described, I disliked how fast the time passed. Other than that, I enjoyed the story a lot.
Its about a Victorian boy called Jim. Like the title suggests, he becomes homeless and is faced with a variety of different problems.
Its also interesting how this is partly based off a real story. All thoughts included, I actually really enjoyed this book.

I felt that this book taught me a valuable lesson about never taking things for granted and about how lucky we are not only to go to school, but to enjoy it as well.

This book is about a boy named Jim Jarvis who loved in the Victorian times. Jim's family were kicked out of there house and had to go to the workhouse, later on in this story we find Jim with this man named Grimy Nick who forces him to help him on the canals. He escaped from the canals and went to his old workhouse friend Shrimps then he finds someone called Barnie who helps Jim to survive.

This book made me feel Curious

I thought that this book was very fascinating. It told the reader a bit of how it was like in the Victorians. I also really like how the storyline is based on a true story. It is about a young boy whos slowly looses his family and is trying to find a way to get out of the workhouse. The boy's name is Jim, and he actually inspired a Victorian teacher to set up a charity called The Barnabus fund(s omething along the lines of that.) I highly recommend this book to people who like a bit of a sad story but also a bit of an adventure.
