The following day, Tom discovers Willie cannot read or write and was bullied in school. He loves art but was never allowed to paint, as that is reserved for the literate children in his class. Tom takes him to see Dr. Little and is given witch hazel for the bruises and welts all over his body. Tom also orders clothes for him from the draper as well as a couple of surprise gifts for his birthday which is coming up in a few days time. For the first time in 40 years, Tom goes into the art shop to get surprise gifts for Willie's birthday. Tom's wife Rachel had loved to paint and thus it takes a great deal of willpower for him to go back into a shop full of so many memories from the past. It takes some time for Willie to adjust to his new surroundings, still traumatized from his mother's abuse. Every night, he wets his bed, which makes him feel ashamed. Tom, who has inferred about Willie's past of abuse, reassures him it is a normal part of adjusting to his new life.

Before his first week is over, Willie is growing to love Little Weirwold. He is shocked to receive birthday gifts from Tom and some of the other villagers and delighted when a surprise party is thrown by Tom that evening. He begins to grow in confidence and his reading is also improving. He is also practicing his art and finds that he has an exceptional gift in drawing. The friends fall into a routine of spending time together and playing games. One day, Willie has them all over to his room. He shows them his artwork and they are in awe of his talent. Zach announces that Miss Thorne is producing a children's Christmas show and needs all the help she can get. Willie volunteers to paint scenery. George then announces there's to be a carol service at church, boys only, which infuriates Carrie who hates the stereotypical activities open to girls. That night after having his friends over, Willie realizes that for the first time since arriving in Weirwold, he has not wet the bed.
Tom misses William terribly and is concerned when he does not receive a postcard from him. After a disturbing, violent nightmare about being locked in a confined space, Tom decides to go to London to find Willie. In Willie's poor neighborhood of Deptford, the fire warden takes him under his wing and through the chance encountering of Mrs. Beech's neighbor, they are brought to Willie's house. The house seems empty but Sammy is frantically scratching at the door, indicating that Willie is inside. With the permission of a policeman, they break down the door. The vile odor inside sends them reeling and Sammy runs to a tiny door under the stairway where the smell is at its worst. They open the hole and find Willie tied to a length of copper piping, sitting in his own urine and excrement, holding a baby in his arms. Tom comforts him and takes the baby, which is dead. Willie is in a bad condition and they take him to the hospital.
At the hospital, Willie is treated, but he is being pumped full of sedative injections, forced upon him by the nursing staff. Tom learns their plan is to send him to an orphanage and he hatches a plan of his own, based on an imaginative message from Rachel. He waits for nighttime, when the nurse on duty is asleep, and he carries Willie off in a blanket. They journey back to Little Weirwold.
Back in Weirwold, Will takes time to adjust after his terrible abuse. He has horrendous nightmares and feverish sleep. Tom sits by his bedside to comfort him when he screams. After a few weeks, his sleep becomes calmer and Willie goes back to normal, seeing all of his friends, especially Zach. Tom, Will, and Zach take a trip to the seaside, where they stay at a bed and breakfast and spend their days on the beach and exploring the little shops. Willie is soothed by the ocean and even learns how to swim. When they return, they are greeted by an excited Carrie, who announces she has been accepted into the high school.
Once Will has accepted Zach's death, others begin to notice that Will is becoming more and more like the extroverted Zach. Miss Thorne wants Will to play Peter Pan in their upcoming show, but instead, he asks to play the flamboyant Captain Hook. He is a huge success and that night, with the applause still ringing in his ears, he realizes that he is truly happy and very glad to be alive. He realizes how far he has come. At home, when he hangs up his jacket on the peg, he finds that it is now too low for him and he announces to Tom - whom he now calls Dad - that finally he is growing.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Magical Car. (1964) Do not judge a book by its movie! This humorous tale by the author of James Bond is great fun. The crazy Pott family purchases a car that can fly as well at catch criminals. Perhaps not as deep and meaningful as some of the other books on this list, but tweens don't need every book they read to change their views on life!
The Family Under the Bridge (1958) At Christmas time in Paris, Armand, a self-proclaimed hobo who loves his responsibility-free life, takes a homeless family under his protection. In doing so he decides it might not be so bad to have permanent ties after all. This sensitive, touching story is a great read during the holiday season.
A companion book to the more famous Goodnight Mister Tom, Back Home is set in post-War Britain, a grey and joyless plcee for 12-year-old Rusty, returning from the US where she was evacuated for the duration of the war. Getting used to her new life is a struggle, as is adapting to living with her strict family after a carefree existence far from rationing and the Blitz. Highly recommended.
Goodnight Mr Tom is an enchanting play written by David Wood based on a novel from 1981 by Michelle Magorian. School children might be familiar with this story as a TV film was made in 1998 starring John Thaw that has often been shown in schools when teachers cover Second World War. London Mums highly recommend taking the children to see it while it runs at the beautiful Duke of Yorks Theatre until 20 February 2016.
Sidebar: Interestingly, some of the more highly rated Christian movies are kind of cheesy, whereas the lower-rated ones can sometimes be excellent. Star ratings can often have more to do with the marketing campaign than anything else, which is a shame. A bit more on critical reviews and star ratings below.
I have really enjoyed reading Good night Mr Tom as it make you want to read on. It is really emotional and joyful at the same time. My favourite part of Good night Mr Tom is the part when Willie was writing his name as it made me imagine what they were doing inside my head. I definitely recommend this book to children from 9 upwards as there are some words that are tricky to understand.
There in his twilight, he could still speak with all the assumptions of the high noon of those days when the many were dazzled to learn from Walter Winchell whatever it was, true or false, that only the few already knew. The shadows of the night had crept ever farther upon him when we next met at the 1956 Republican convention in San Francisco.
Goodnight Mister Tom is a true modern classic; first published in 1981, with the magnificent film starring John Thaw released in 1998, it still is going strong and truly deserves its place on the list of the best books for 10-year-olds. There is a quality to this novel and story that is hard to define, but grumpy old Tom Oakley will be a gateway character for many kids when it comes to understanding the complexities of the human experience.

Animal Farm is directed by Robert Icke, whose version of 1984 (co-adapted and directed with Duncan Macmillan) was a smash-hit in the West End and on Broadway. This brand new production features puppetry by Toby Olié (whose credits include War Horse, Running Wild and Goodnight Mister Tom) and is designed by four-time Olivier award-winner Bunny Christie.
Many good novels in the past have had films produced about their storyline. However, producers often modify the plot, change the characters and introduce new events and ideas to try and make the film more appealing to viewers. As a result the novel Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian has been reproduced in the 1998 classic called Good Night Mr Tom starring John Thaw and Nick Robinson. This essay will explore the differences between the book and the film as well as focussing on whether the film has captured the characters of Tom and Will representing them as the novel intended.

Al: A slob mick cop in Chicago gonna take me off for 35 dollars. Just because he thinks he can. 'cause when he comes around for his free fuckin' meal and to have his prick sucked and collect his weekly 20 fuckin' dollars from the woman that runs the whorehouse, I'm there buying girls to bring out to the camps. I knifed the tub of guts. That's what this cunt of a magistrate's shaking me down over. Having already taken $5,000 to have the warrant lifted.
Stapleton: Well, what if a sheriff took office that Al could trust not to bother him? And you could lay head to pillow nights knowin' he was your friend. Type of man who'd go up to a fire marshal, say, and tell him and his so-called sheet iron violation that hadn't proven to be dangerous uh, for, what, goin' on two months now, should be waived? And whose ear'd be first to the ground when any violence created maybe business opportunities? And who'd remember who got him started.
Al: Trixie! Don't you think I don't understand. I mean, what can anyone of us ever really fuckin' hope for, huh? -S1/Ep11-what_can_any_of_us_hope_for.mp3 Except for a moment here and there with a person who doesn't want to rob, steal or murder us? At night, it may happen. Sun-up, one person against the fuckin' wall, the other may hop on the fuckin' bed trusting each other enough to tell half the fucking truth. Everybody needs that. Becomes precious to 'em. They don't want to see it fucked with. 2ff7e9595c
