Reception
The novel was well received.[1][2] "Lottie Longshanks", reviewing for The Guardian, stated that "the book is well written and easy to read" and that "it brings that time in history to life so vividly."[1] Julia Eccleshare, writing for website 'lovereading4kids', called it an "exciting and touching story".[1]
Penguin Schools, along with website TeachItPrimary, provide a pack of activities based on the book to use as a teaching resource in primary schools.[3][4]
gollark: Great! I am going to sleep maybe eventually.
gollark: 15 minutes per day is quite substantial.

gollark: 15 minutes. You said.
gollark: The "no real cost to me now but possible large gains via belief" argument is called Pascal's wager and does not actually work.
