15. Reflection of Valentine Joe Valentine Joe is a gripping tale. The story is about a girl called Rose. Rose came from London, but she was travelling to Belgium by train to remember those who have fallen during war. So when Joe’s world enters the present, Rose goes on a quest to save Joe from fighting for war (Because he was ill). However she wasn’t able to change that, because Joe’s world was in the past. I really enjoyed this book, however the start was lagging a bit, which didn’t entertain me. But it was still a great story.
