novel

The novel that I have read was 'The Escape' in the 'Henderson's Boys' series by Robert Muchamore and I have finished reading it. The reason that I was reading this book was because my mum sent it to me and it was a very interesting read.

The story takes place in the summer of 1940 and Hitler's army is advancing towards France.
Main Characters

• Charles Henderson
• Marc Kligour (12)
• Rosie Clarke (13)
• Paul Clarke (11)

The influences of the main characters was that there was a war on and that the Nazis were advancing through France. Marc is trying to get to Beauvais and gets caught up in everything when he hides in Henderson's house and gets found by the Gestapo (Hitlers secret police). Marc is found by the gestapo in Henderson's house and has his tooth pulled out and passes out and then wakes to find Henderson there. Henderson then helps Marc and they become good friends. Paul and Rosie are trying to find Henderson by travelling trough France to get some important blueprints for a radio to Henderson. When their father dies they are left alone and they then got to a church and get reunited with a small boy called Hug aged four. They then travel to Tours and stay with a small family. They get a message from Henderson saying that a German officer pretending to be him will be coming and they should be prepared. They shoot the officer but Hugo gets shot by the officer just before he dies and then Hugo dies as well. After Hugo dies they meet Henderson and then plan to go to Britain.

I think that this book should be made into a film but the part of the plot that I think should be removed is the part where they meet Hugo because it is very sad when Hugo dies.
