SynopsisTwo young boys encounter the best and worst of humanity during the Holocaust in this powerful read that USA Today called "as memorable an introduction to the subject as The Diary of Anne Frank ." Berlin, 1942: When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move to a new house far, far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people in the distance. But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different from his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences., "Powerful and unsettling. . . .

  • Thank you for the book

    This book is incredible. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. If you like to read about history and/or action then you will love this book. It is about the boy of a commander in the german army who is uprooted from his home to another country to live with his family. His father is the commander and there is a camp where men are held on the property where he befriends a little boy who happens to be the same age with the same birthday as him. I won't spoil the surprises. Enjoy the thrilling read.

  • Friendship

    The book was an easy read -- It kept my interest through every page. The following day the story was on Positive TV -- Faith Inspired Programs. It really brought the story home -- how 2 little boys can become good friends so fast.

    Not a very good copy. Cover is worn with pencil marks and creases, and there is a lot of highlighting throughout the book. I’m disappointed in the quality for a very good good copy.

  • acceptable at best

    Very good? Cover (front and back) is all creased, edges are creased, stain on the front cover. This would have been considered an "acceptable" book
