Summary: The silver sword
Review: The book is Silver Sword. My favourite bit is when they found Ludwig, when they went to Mr Wolffe. The sad bit I think when Jan lost the box in the river when he was saving Edek, Bronia,and Ruth. He said what was in it I liked it when they got re-united and Jan asked Magrit to be his mum.

Summary: The Silver sword
Review: The Silver Sword is really intresting and Ian serraillier must be full of lovely imagination and thoughtful ideas however i didnt quit get a few parts because it was confuseing.I think i will recomend this book to yaer 5 and 6 and up words because quite a lot of parts was difficult to understand.There was faur children the eldist was called Ruth she was 18 and the second eldist was called Edic he was 14 and the smallist was called Bronyer she was 9 yaers old.The silver sword IS realy adventris and a brillent story espestoaly when they meet a boy could Yang and his friend Gipy.And one as you get deep in to it feels like you are in the story but a few of the singing was quinte boring.

Summary: the silver sword
Review: The Silver Sword,a heart gripping story,is a fantasic book
which is written by Ian serrailliar.The ideal story is about
four children on a long journey to switzerland,from polland
and carrying with them,the fabulous silver Sword,which gave
them all the courage they needed.Furthermore,I would say this
story is for children above 9 because some parts may not be
suitable for young children.The amazing children were so brave
to go riding through the rapids.

Summary: A Great Book!
Review: This book is really great! The story is captivating and really draws the reader into the book. Though there may be quite a few coincidences, the author does state how incredibly lucky the characters are for these things to happen in the book. Despite this small fact, the book is truly a great book to read. It's definetly one of my all-time favourites.

Summary: Not special, but unique
Review: This book neither brings in any new flavours or categories into the market, nor is different from other books. People write about war, about suffering, about reunion and this book is nearly the same, except maybe the setting and characters. So, what do I think is unique in this book? For a start, we'll have to congratulate the author for being able to beat the competition into our Singapore schools and make the book one of the textbooks for literature. How he writes differently from other writers is because of his different angle of seeing and describing things that we often see or try to describe "vividly", as our teachers emphasise. The characters are special in their own way. A mature young lady, having to take care of her brother and sister-and a thief. A boy who shoots with his rifle at the soldiers who drags their mother away. A girl only a few years old. A boy who is so good at stealing things he is never caught red handed unless some clumsy boy who shoots at soldiers disturb his plans. They find out that their father goes to Switzerland in search of their mother and they try to "walk" there. But of course there are always free lifts from people who drive lorries or even carts that can hide them quite well. Their journey is full of children, hungry, dirty, ugly, not one rich, handsome, clean child or man did you realise? Their journey is full of twist and turns, no straight paths did you notice? Their journey, is one of the most spectacular in "history".

Summary: Use it as school book
Review: This book was exciting at some stages and I quite like it. I recommend you to read this book. Joseph Balicki was the three childrens father and was a school teacher. The Germans took over Poland and wanted everyone to speak German. Joseph kept teaching in Polish so he was jailed in Germany. The children were separated as Poland was bombed. The children survived many years of hard times whilst looking for their parents. Edek smuggled food to survive and was caught taking butter and brought to Germany to slave. This is the begining summary so you may read the rest! I hope you like the story.

Summary: It was a touch light hearted
Review: This book was good apart from the fact that it skimmed over the surface of the storie too much, there were also too many coinsidences that happened in it.

Summary: The Silver Sword
Review: This is a gripping story book about a special silver sword which is tiny and shiny.This would be the best book you have ever read.It started with 4 young children and the author is Ian Seraillier his book's makes you mad?
The eldest was Ruth,the second was Edek,the two youngest was Bronia,Jan.Jan has always kept his silver sword because it is very special to him.Also the other people looks after the silver sword.I like the bit when they were on the canoes and the train because i thought that it was exiting when i heard it from the book.
They lost the silver sword on there way to Switserland so they were in trouble but then Herrwolff got the silver sword.so they were safe at last and then they saw their dad and mum and they were happy at the end.

I would recommend this book to 9-12years old because it is a gripping story.
