Never Fall Down by Patricia McCormick

An Amazon review by Ann Marie Grumm


4.0 out of 5 stars Survival By Any Means NecessaryOctober 10, 2014



A survival story of historical significance capturing the ruination and abuse of villages and villagers. Without considering the cost, a young male protagonist vows never to fall down.  He is quickly befriended by the enemy and that's when the real conflict ensues.  The story itself is a five star story.

Reader Beware:   The author attempts to capture the young man's broken English. Though, I see that other amazon reviewers truly appreciated it, it was a difficult read.  Not recommended for second language learners.



From the MARC record of this book:
