This book was one of 6 titles shortlisted for the Carnegie Award last year.
Set during the First World War, Private Peaceful looks back over his childhood while he is on the battlefield. A young man's memories of his family and friends back home. The story switches between these innocent memories to his experiences of war and the terrible affect it is having on him and others.
It is a very moving book - full of emotion. Although Private Peaceful did not win the Carnegie Medal it has won other awards.
