Goodnight Mister Tom
By: Michelle Margorian
Genre: Historical Fiction

So far I really love this book, but one thing that I like about is is the fact that well i really love books that are in WWII, and usually they are jewish people, but this book is based in England, when the germans were dropping bombs and the adults sent all the children out into the country to be safer. Willie a nine year old boy has gone to the country aswell, and Mister Tom is going to take care of him. At first I thought Tom would be mean but he is actually nice, he has a dog named sammy which I think will be good for Willie, but the things is at first he was scared of the dog, but loves him now. Willie does not talk to much, his mother is not very nice to him. After Willie got there and had dinner and fell asleep in the chair mister Tom went to go take his things up to his room, well mainly he is going to sleep in the atic, but Tom made it nice and comfy. Tom looked inside his suit case and found a belt, some clothes and other things. In the morning they went out to go get some things for Willie and at home, it was a nice hot day, Tom ask Willie why he had his long socks on, Willie said that it was becasue of the bruises on his legs, because of the belt that his mother would hit him with. Mister Tom told Willie that he would also never ever hit Willie. So they went to the stores, got the things that Willie needed, right now I am up to a part where Willie asks if he can go into the shop with all the paints and brushes, Tom said jsut to look outside the window because, he had never been in there since Rachel was there last time, his wife who had died, and always would get excited each time, the smell of the paint. He remeberd one day when she said, "If I painted the sky, I could go through life paintin' nothin' else for it's always chagin'. It never stays still." So here I think remembering her and this shop might be a strong part in this book. But yes so far I truly am loving this book, I really do love it.
