The Brothers Lionheart
Written by Astrid Lindgren
The Lovereading4Kids comment
Magical and touching, the adventures of two brothers in the fantasy land they arrive in after their tragically early deaths is an uplifting as well as an exciting story. After their deaths, Jonathan and Karl are united in the ‘land beyond the stars’ and here they need all the courage and goodness they can find in their hearts to save the peaceful valley from the evil that threatens it. Winner of awards too numerous to mention, Astrid and her books have delighted generations of children and this one is no exception.
Synopsis
The Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren
My brother, Jonathan, knew that I was going to die. 'How can things be so terrible,' I asked. 'That some people have to die, when they're not even ten years old?' 'I don't think it's that terrible,' said Jonathan. 'I think you'll have a marvellous time.' A tender story of courage, love, and life after death from the author of Pippi Longstocking.

Lovereading is just a convenient way to find new books and hear others opinions on them.

We love Lovereading as my 5 year old loves to read new books before anyone else has a chance, she says it makes reading exciting!

It gives me a chance to read types of books that I would not normally try, and it motivates me to read every night to finish it!

It is THE website to use for narrowing down your search for any book. Definitely knocks the socks off any other book review website.
