The War of Jenkins' Ear

Michael Morpurgo
(Mammoth)
978-0749717544, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "The War of Jenkins' Ear" on Amazon

Toby Jenkins is unhappy at his public school until the arrival of a new boy, Simon Christopher. The boys become close, but Simon has a remarkable secret to share: he is Jesus Christ. From disbelief to acceptance and back to doubt, Toby runs the gamut of emotions in trying to come to terms with this situation. He loses the most important battle of all-loyalty-and the ending of the book starkly shows the consequences of his error. This remarkable book would make an excellent class reader for Year 8.
