Gracie and her friend Daniel have always been warned to stay away from the Birdman and his side of the island. But then they find a message in the sand and discover the Birdman is not who they thought. They build up a lovely friendship with him, but when the children get stranded on Samson Island they don’t know whether to believe the birdman’s story that the island is cursed.
Set against the backdrop of the First World War, Michael Morpurgo brings the emotional reality of conflict to life in a way that is accessible.

Great books for parents to read with their children.
I thought this book was interesting because it was about this bird watcher who lives on a deserted island which
only he lives on and if you come on terrible things will happen to you such as getting scarlet fever.

This book was really exciting to read because it had a really scary person but ended up being kind to one of the children in the story.
