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.
