Abigail's review
This extraordinary book was the best and it will blow your head off!!! This book is set in North London. William, Albert and Daisy had some tea but Daisy didn’t have any tea because she was last home. They had Daisy’s favourite tea, fish and chips. One day, Daisy tried to escape but the boys saw her. 

I like the book because I liked how Daisy tried to escape and how the boys got caught by the unknown warrior. I also had a sad bit about the book when Daisy’s Dad died in the war. 

The main characters are Willam, Albert and Daisy Willam is funny and smiley, Albert is so exited he doesn’t stop doing eniything but I think Daisy is the best character because she is the funnest. 

I would recommend it to age 7 to 12 because it is really fascinating. Also I would recommend it to soldiers.

Charlotte's review
This is a nice, short book. It talks about a family’s experiences during the aftermath of the First World War. I really enjoyed reading this book.

I followed Daisy’s story easily. Listening to her, I felt as though I was there with her. I understood how she was feeling.

This book may be short but it is exciting. It tells you about the effect of WW1 on Daisy. I learnt a lot.

Katherine's review
I enjoyed reading this book because it was interesting learning about the war. I learned that when the men went to the war, the women did their jobs. For example, Daisy’s father did tram work, then when he went to the war her mother did it.

I found Daisy the most interesting character because she is sad, determined and brave. She crept out of the house to go to Westminster Abbey even though her mum said she couldn’t go. She thought that the unknown warrior was her father and she wanted to say goodbye. 

I found it interesting that the story happened at a time in the war when the men went to war. That is very different from what happens now. I found the story exciting because Daisy crept out of the house without her mum knowing, and also sad because her father died. The part of the book that most stood out to me is the part where Daisy crept out of the house because it is exciting. 

I learned some new words, for example ‘armistice’ which was the agreement to stop the fighting between the Allies including Britain on one side and Germany on the other. 

I couldn’t think of anything I didn’t like about the book. I would recommend the book to other pupils because I learned new things about the war and I found it exciting.

Isabella and Aaizah's review
I thought it is really good but at the same time quite emotional and sad because anything linking to wars and dying is heart-breaking. I think it should be for older than Year 3, for example we in Year 4 are learning about WW2 and it links really well. It tells you about a real feeling and story of a historical event. It feels like you’re there, the emotions come together. It’s really good and I think emotional. Because it’s a bit about dying it’s aimed year 4 and up. This book is quite easy to understand, not too tricky vocabulary. However I didn’t like when it said “shut up” because when people read it they might copy and think it’s a good word, it might get in their head. 

Luke's review

I would recommend this book to children who like history because it is about Armistice Day in 1920 and I learned a lot from the story.

The story made me feel a bit sad at first because of the soldiers who died in the war. I didn’t know that there were soldiers that didn’t have names on their graves, I felt sad for the people who lived in those days. It made me feel lucky and relieved that I didn’t live in that time and grateful for my life and my family.

At first I didn’t think Daisy should go to Westminster Abbey because she still wouldn’t know who the unknown warrior was and Mum would be upset and lose money.

When Daisy did sneak out of the house without being seen, that was very exciting. I wondered how she would do that. I was happy that Mum, William and Albert met her and I was surprised that Mum wasn’t sad at the Abbey. 

I thought that Dad’s ghost was sending Daisy a message to go to the Abbey because he was the unknown warrior. People were singing ‘Daisy, Daisy' and humming it and even whistling it. I really think it was Daisy’s Dad in the coffin. 

I thought Daisy was kind to think it was probably not Dad and it might be Fred or anyone else. Daisy was my favourite character in the book.

When it is Remembrance Sunday I will remember this story and think about the unknown warriors.

Isla's review
I was interested in this story right from the beginning. It told the story of Daisy. Her father died in World War 1. The facts about the war were fascinating, the story gave me a lot of new information about the war and about after the war.

I think this book would help pupils from KS2 and KS3 to understand how WW1 would have changed the lives of children like Daisy.

Evie's review
This amusing book is full with excitement! It’s set in war time.

Daisy walks to school with her two brothers. Her teacher tells her about the grave.

I didn’t really like the [part where] they talked about Daisy’s dead dad. My favourite part was when Daisy sneaks out, I found it interesting.

The main characters are William, Albert, Daisy. Daisy is kind and independent. William is adorable and sweet. Albert is bossy but nice. Daisy’s mum is loud but nice. My favourite character is Daisy, she is nice.

Logan's review
The Unknown Warrior is about Daisy. Daisy’s father dies during World War 2. One day, Daisy’s teacher mentions that there is going to be an important ceremony at Westminster Abbey, Daisy decides to go.

The story is easy to follow. It gave me lots of useful information about the war. It would help any KS2 pupils to understand how war can affect ordinary people.

Isabelle's review
This book is amazing to read. Daisy’s dad died in the First World War wen she was 1. Year old. William and Daisy and Albert got ready for school but then she went missing. 

Daisy stayed up all night then she heard her dad. 

I like Daisy and her brothers because Albert sees William and Daisy. 

Star Rating 4 out of 4.

Phoebie's review

The book is full of excitement and wonders.

Daisy's dad died in the war. She [went to] Westminster Abbey. She went without permission. The book was set in 1920. 

The book was that interesting I could not put it down. The bit that caught me on the hook is when Daisy snuck out of the house without permission.

I got upset when I found out that her dad died in the war. 

Daisy is smart, brave and the best big sister. Albert is nosy, bosy, and brave and 9 years old. William is soft, kind and only 4 years old.

I recommend the book at 8+ or any confident readers.
