Because I loved the CBCA novel winner, 'Children of the King' so much, I looked for other books by Sonya Hartnett and found 'The Silver Donkey'. It's about two French girls and their brother who find a young English soldier hiding in the forest, escaping from the army. He is blind because he has seen too much of the horrors of war and is desperate to return to his sick brother in England. How they help him and the stories he tells kept me turning the pages right to the end.
