This book is set in a fantasy medieval times where two different lives collide to uncover a secret that will change their fate and those aroud them! It is not your typical story and is too hard to explain. Even if you dont like fantasy you will adore this novel.
ENJOY!

A Rose For The ANZAC Boys
This book by great historical author Jackie French is a real good read!!!
It shows world war one from the point of view of three young teenagers, and provides fantastic insight into the harsh reality of war. It is an addictive, page turning book, that tells the storys of the three girls, who start a canteen for soldiers. Eventually, the main character is recruted by the ambulence service. This is a great story with twists in the plot where you least expect it!!!
