Kylie Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 It's funny this should come up. I read this in school many years ago and have lately been wanting to track down a copy to read it again. I seem to recall it being pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laramie Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hello there... Anne Holm wrote 'I am David', I read it years ago and I thought it was wonderful. A film was made of it too. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327919/ It looks great. David looked just how I imagined him. I read it at school too I read it at school, but not because I was told to! (it was in my school library) I can't remember what made me pick it up now - especially as it is classed as a historical novel in there - but I'm very glad I did! I seem to recall it being pretty good. It is!! It is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arewenearlythere Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 fantastic read, well worth the read and a pretty good time filler on the train to work!! looking forward to my kids growing up a bit and me passing it on to them. Inspirational coming of age novel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 It's funny this should come up. I read this in school many years ago and have lately been wanting to track down a copy to read it again. I seem to recall it being pretty good. Going on from my post of a few years ago, I did find a copy of this book and re-read it last year. It really is very good, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's a very touching story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XanderRichards Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Like others here I read it at school and seem to remember enjoying it, but I have to confess that, even at that age, I found the reveal predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverendings Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I first read this book as a child then later after leaving home; I've not read it for years again, now, but it's definitely due for a re-read. It is a beautiful, life-affirming book about the power of the human spirit. The prose style is simple but nonetheless conveys an eye for small yet important detail, and has a control which emphasises rather than eliminates the poetry of the author's words. Although a children's book, it has more depth than many adult novels I have read and is hugely moving. Definitely recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
