Troy would rather kill soldiers in his

computer game than write an essay for the

Anzac Day competition. But when his mum

comes home from Nanna Elsie's with old

photos and a journal from Gallipoli, he is

transported to the horrors of a real

battlefield.

Whose journal is it and what is in it

that makes Troy have a change of heart

about writing the essay?

A Story that Hits Home

"A Child's War" balances insights into the daily life of soldiers at Gallipoli with a keen sense of the interests of contemporary young readers.
The front cover artwork by Aaron Pocock is truly captivating. His illustrations and handwritten soldier's diary entries enhance Ali Holborn's story to make it a highly engaging read for 9-13 year olds.
