I struggled with the story in some ways—the way it’s written (as a diary) is a little far-fetched for me. There’s no WAY the main character would have been able to write as much as is included here! Still, the play-by-play account this book provides gives the historical event a sense of reality, and that’s worth something.
Our family enjoyed this story when I read it aloud to them, and I’m sure this won’t be the last time we read it. Recommended, if you want to learn a piece of New Zealand history in an interesting way! ( )
