Críticas:

A thought-provoking, original and deeply moving story which brings the war vividly to life. --Julia Eccleshare, children's literary critic

VALENTINE JOE is a poignant look at the First World War and the impact it had on soldiers, families and the world as a whole. It s a short read but one that has a strong impact and stays in your head even after you've finished, ensuring that Valentine Joe's very real story will never be forgotten ... Rebecca Stevens writes with such respect and understanding that it s hard not to get pulled in to VALENTINE JOE. --Wondrous Reads

This book packs a powerful emotional punch in just 150 pages as it combines grief, love and the reality of the trenches ... This is a beautifully written story that sensitively evokes the rawness of grief and how it can trap the living and if it doesn't make you cry, you must have a heart of flint. --The Daily Mail

Reseña del editor:

Rose's granddad takes her on a trip to Ypres, Belgium to visit the graves of those who died in the Great War. It's the day before Valentine's, but Rose can sense the shattered old city beneath the chocolate-box new. And it seems that it can sense her too. When she goes up to her room that night, she hears the sound of marching feet and glimpses from her window a young soldier on his way to the front line .
