Oslaf and the others from his village are moving across the sea to start a new life. Can the Angles and the Saxons defeat the Britons? The Flashbacks series offers dramatic stories set in key moments of history.
Tony Bradman is an award-winning author who has been involved in children's books for 35 years. He has written for all ages – poetry, picture books, young fiction, novels – and for many reading schemes. Tony has edited many anthologies of poetry and short stories, has been a judge on several major book prizes, and is a regular reviewer of children's and young adult fiction for The Guardian books pages. Tony has three children, three grandchildren, and lives in London with his wife and Betty the Border Terrier – which makes him the third most important person in the house.
It is not easy to convey the real sense of being taken back in time
in such a short book, only 160 pages, but in Tony Bradman's
experienced hands, we are there in the early years of our history
as a nation is being formed. This would read aloud well, and
because it is short, be good for those boys whose interest needs to
be caught and held.
*Books for Keeps*
If you are looking for a fictional story in the Anglo-Saxon times I
would recommend this book. I do think by reading this story the
kids will discover a lot of interesting facts about the life of
that time and what would have happened when the tribes migrated to
Britain.
