The second I picked up Armistice Runner, it was almost impossible to put down. An amazing connection between Lily and her ancestor's running logs. An emotional, heartfelt story

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! It was a bit sad, of course, but war books are all like that. The bit when the man almost played the piano was the saddest part for me, because I love music. Also, running is one of my favourite hobbies. Overall, this is a thrilling book which I really enjoyed reading! :-)

The plot hooked me and was intriguing and well told. I enjoyed the touching connection between Lily and her grandmother. The whole story was one of the most emotional and well written stories I have ever read.

It started off a bit slow, and took a while to get me in the mood set to read. However after the dairy entries started, I just wanted to keep coming back to read more. The book as a whole was really creative how Palmer connected the two lives. It also tackled the difficult subject of war extremely good. Overall, It is a great book however there are other books that I may choose over Armistice Runner. Also, I feel like the book could have been a bit longer to explain all the questions i had. Then again a good book is a book that leaves you with many questions.

This book was great at telling 2 stories of 2 lives so similar, yet far apart. It was easy to relate to as I am a runner too! There wasn’t too much emotion- just enough.
Amelia - Outwood Academy Kirkby - 2020
A very nice, gripping book that kept me interested and made me finish it in a whole day. Lily, the protagonist, makes you share her struggles with her mentally ill Nan and her mysterious great grandfather. a gripping tale.

I thought the book was fantastic,I love how much Lily got so invested into Ernest’s life . I also enjoyed how she grew such a special bond with Ernest even though she had never met him. The story was full of emotions and filled you with tension and questions at just the right moments.

It was very interesting to learn more about the second world war and Lily was very determinant to win a race and in the end she won because she didn't give up. I highly recommend this book.

The plot was interesting and different. The book was well written and I loved the determination however I found the main character quite generic and basic but apart from that i really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to many.
