Book Review of Dear Olly by Michael Morpurgo


The book that I am reviewing is 'Dear Olly' by Michael Morpurgo.
This story is written in three different perspectives. These are Olly's Story, Hero's Story and Matt's Story. It is about a boy named Matt who is a very happy boy. He has a sister called Olly and Matt and Olly have a very close relationship.
Matt has a dream and one day decides to go at Africa to work in an orpanage and keep the children happy but Olly and her mother are very worried about him. One day something happens to Matt but how will Ollly and her mother find out if he is ok.
Along with the human story there is the story of Hero. He is a swallow and also has an adventure travelling like Matt. It turns out that the two stories collide but will they both have happy endings?
I would rate this book 4 out of 5 becasue you really feel like you get to know that characters and it is a quick and sweet read for all to enjoy.
