Friend or foe

I liked this book. I thought the relationship between David and Tucky and Mr Reynolds was really sweet and the ending was very wholesome.

I did think that David and Tucky's reasoning for helping the Germans was a bit disappointing. It would have been interesting to see them help them simply because they are people rather than out of a debt, but I can understand that it is easy to write a simpler reason since this is a kids' book.

I still don't really understand why the injured German man hid that fact that he could speak English very well, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book.
