I am Rebel
By Ross Montgomery
Review by Scarlett, age 10, Charlton Kings Junior School, Cheltenham
This book is amazing! It is so exciting, and you don’t want to stop reading it. This book is packed full of incredible descriptions and ideas. I love the way the dog tells the story. Rebel meets lots of characters through their journey to find Tom and they all have such good personalities. This book is incredible!

I absolutely enjoyed the book from start till end! The plot was so engaging that I couldn’t resist turning over every single page until the very end, and it only took me 3 hours to finish the whole book! A fresh story, highly realistic, compelling & convincing characters, and incredible storytelling!
The author effortlessly highlights the historical context behind the firsthand account from a fictional dog , Rebel, who aims to reunite with his human companion, Tom, who unexpectedly goes to fight a war against the tyrannical king, and the wonderful use of vocabulary surely helps the reader to understand each character's feelings in depth, gaining the best understanding possible. I'd recommend it to readers interested in historical fiction, interwoven throughout a selfless relationship between two best friends! A clear 10\10 for me!
