An Eagle in the Snow is an extraordinary book full of adventure. It is based on a true story and is about a man who could had have stopped the second world war from happening.
It is 1940 and Barney and his Nan are on a train escaping to the countryside but a German fighter planes tries to shoot the train, meaning it has to hide in the tunnel. A strange man sitting opposite them decides to tell them a story about his friend, Billy Byron, the most decorated soldier of the first world war, the person who had a chance to end the war before it even began. But sometimes the truth is hard to see and even harder to live with…
Read how Billy Byron met different people and went to different places and how he will always remain.
This is a fantastic book which I highly recommend to children between the ages 7-11. I rate it 5 stars and I assure you that this will be a book you will love. Heartwarming and blood-pumping, this will definitely go in your top twenty favourite books.
