Judy is a dog who lives on a ship called HMS Grasshopper.
As the ship's mascot, Judy has many duties.
She catches rats, watches out for soldiers who may fall overboard, and she listens out for danger.
Judy loves her crew, and they love her.
She knows that she brings comfort to the men, making her job very important during these hard times. But when her soldiers are taken prisoner and she is separated from her beloved Frank, she must find the strength to keep going.
She is their only hope.
Review by George
I read this book because it was one of our class reads.
I liked the characters because they are all different and Judy is a really special dog.
The thing that stood out the most is that the story is really heart-warming.
I would recommend this to older KS1 or KS2 children who are interested in war stories or how animals helped soldiers in the war.
What to expect...
