About this listen

The five children have grown up, and World War I has begun in earnest. The sand fairy has become a creature of stories...until, for the first time in 10 years, he suddenly reappears.

Before this last adventure ends, all will be changed; the two younger children will have seen the Great War from every possible viewpoint, and the war's impact will be felt right at the heart of their family.

Critic reviews

"Saunders has created a simply brilliant book.... E. Nesbit would be proud and honoured by this beautifully crafted, funny, heart-breaking story." ( Daily Mail)
"Saunders's novel does what fiction does best: it focuses on individuals we care about in order to make a universal point." ( Guardian)

Not quite what I expected

It took two starts to get into and understands the story. I began the book while working work students, my attention was divided, so I could not get into the story. I put it away and began over spring break. Much better once you understand what is going on. Definitely should read the first book in the series.
