This reminded me of "The boy in the striped pajamas" because of the young boys voice and naivety. Although this is from the other perspective, a Jewish boy going through the holocaust. It was an interesting read and I'll have to continue on with the other books to find out what happens because it doesn't end with the end of the war. It was sad in parts and I'd be interested to know if a young person would understand the true sadness of it.

This book was so good. The main character, Felix, can be a bit nieve at times, but he is written well along with all the other characters in the story, I believe that this book should be in the school curriculum as I think the messages in this story are very important to the development of young people.

I have just finished reading this to my year 5/6 class. They were hanging on every word...as soon as I finished they begged me to begin Then immediately. The discussion generated has been amazing! I love this series and am glad my class are hooked too.
