Explanation In Favor Of Books Good Night, Mr. Tom

London is poised on the brink of World War II. Timid, scrawny Willie Beech -- the abused child of a single mother -- is evacuated to the English countryside. At first, he is terrified of everything, of the country sounds and sights, even of Mr. Tom, the gruff, kindly old man who has taken him in. But gradually Willie forgets the hate and despair of his past. He learns to love a world he never knew existed, a world of friendship and affection in which harsh words and daily beatings have no place. Then a telegram comes. Willie must return to his mother in London. When weeks pass by with no word from Willie, Mr. Tom sets out for London to look for the young boy he has come to love as a son.

I first came across this story many years ago when it was on the TV and fell in love with it then. I discovered after that it was based on a book, which I hunted out and read. So I was looking for something to read next and this grabbed my eye for a re-read.It really is a lovely story, which had me welling up at times. You can picture the boys confusion at never having been in the country and wondering what things were. I loved the way that Mister Tom becomes softer as the story goes on

I remember reading this book whilst I was at primary school and again at secondary school when I developed a keen interest in history. Magorian tells the story of Will Beech, an evacuee who is placed in the hands of Mr Tom Oakley at the start of WWII. However after spending a few months in the countryside, he is summoned back home to his mother where he is subjected to abuse, until he is rescued by Mr Tom. At first, you sense uncertainty as to what will become of Will and Tom but then as the

Tom Oakley has become a loner in his village. He tends to be stern and quietly exists with a heavy heart. A small, nervous boy called Willie Beech enters Tom's life and home as an evacuee from war-torn London. Willie soon stirs up Tom's set ways. Over time, Willie flourishes with Tom's sensitive care and Tom finds new purpose in his life.A novel full of adventures in the countryside with friends, the spirit of helping each other in times of trouble, cozy nights next to the fire with books and

What can I truly say about this book?This book is such an emotional and beautiful masterpiece that should be read by everyone, especially when you're a child and then again as an adult. This book teaches you about so much and when I finished reading this book, I was left thinking about countless of things. The innocence only a child has, mixed with the anger and rage of the war. So much truth, made this book just heated with emotion. As an adult reading this book you can see everything and

A must read for everyone. If you don't read it then you should watch the movie. This story needs to be told.My sons had to read this at school. As I love to read i read this while both of them read it. I have watched the movie a few times with them also.Rearranging my books I came across this and couldn't resist re reading it. Truly an amazing read.

One of my final List of Betterment books and a true classic. I read so many children's books these days and now realise how high the benchmark for real literature can and should be for children. Deeply touching, uplifting, harrowing and joyous. I loved the relationship between Tom and Willie but also Willie and the community. Each character is real and watching Willie grow into a real person is an emotional journey. I'm happy to admit that I cried several times throughout. Sometimes because I

such an emotional read wow i'm a mess !!!
