Goodnight Mister Tom is a long chapter book and is 429 pages long and it starts when the second world war starts and a young boy named Willie Beech evacuated to the countryside. A sad, suffering child, he is beginning to grow under the care of kind old Tom Oakley. But then his cruel mother demands him back to the waste by war in London. This book is a great book ,but a little bit long but if I had to rate this book I would rate it a 3.5 because in some parts it talks in a different langauge and sometimes I got confused.
