Michael Morpurgo (War Horse) does an excellent job of relating the horrors of war and its effect on people in a gentle, heartwarming way. In this slight book a boy relates the story of his grandfather, who was horribly disfigured when the merchant ship he sailed on was torpedoed during World War II. The boy does not know the whole story until his grandfather tells his story when the boy has graduated from school.
