'I really loved this book! Just wonderful, a remarkable story – beautifully told.' Favel Parrett 'With just the right blend of action, comedy and pathos, The Reindeer and the Submarine will spark or stoke a love of the past in eight- to 12-year-olds.' Books and Publishing ‘Based on the real-life tale of the reindeer on board the HMS Trident, this is such a charming story that it will be absolutely loved by young readers … With small touches of humour spread throughout the book, this is never a sombre war-time story, but instead an uplifting and naive story (with an historical source) ready for young readers.’ Read Plus, Carolyn Hull
