superfragalisticxpalladoshas May 14, 2008
This book is about a girl ho loved her animals and her farm.
But her animals get a terrible disease called the foot and mouth disease. She is devastated read the rest of the book to find out the ending go on give the book a try it is a really good book if I love it then so will you for all those people out there give the book a try. This book is for 11-14's.
My best character was Becky Morley because she was brave about her animals getting the foot and mouth disease
My emotions were happy in half of the book and sad in the other part of the book.
This story is not a story at all it really happened.
This book is written by Michael morpurgo
Illustrated by Michael foreman.
Upsetting but brilliant story May 13, 2008
This book review is about a book called Out of the ashes. It is all true even the drawings except that some of the spellings have been changed, it is also written like a diary. It is about a girl named Becky she lives with both of her parents. It is all set on a farm. Suddenly something terrible happens on their farm. The animals get foot and mouth disease, they have to be slaughtered. I think Becky is a really brave girl because she coped with all of this. Are the family ever going to be able to live knowing the tragedy that has happened? This is a very emotional story (It made me cry) but it has a really good ending. It`s a fantastic story. It took me 2 days to read this book; it was that great I could not put it down. I would recommend the ages of 10 to 13's to read this book.
The Best Michael Morpurgo Book August 15, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is by far the best Michael Morpurgo book ever. It's incredibly sad in a couple of places, but it has it's happy moments to. It's all written in a diary format by a girl who's father is a farmer during foot and mouth. Enevitably her farm gets it, and this is when it get's really sad.
I read this in one day because it was so good. There are some very sad bits though, so be for warned.
In all a good book.

I think you have to be over 7 to understand the sadness Becky went through.
A very moving and inspirational book. August 10, 2001

This book is a very very good read for people affected or unaffected by Foot and Mouth. It helps give an insight from a childs perspective into how foot and mouth affected farmers and their families. It is quite a sad but fulfilling read.
