About this product

Product Information

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 from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see 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 to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.

  • a great book written from the perspective and point of view of a child - Bruno. He rose above political considerations.

    Great book. Everyone should ready it and believe in Bruno who only valued humanity and friendship. It is a good for children but all adults should read it. On the first level, it makes good reading for children; on the second level the story soars above and the thoughts are designed for the adult world.

  • Well Worth The Read

    An short easy read about a difficult subject. As the write up on the cover says, to tell you anything about the story would be to spoil it. You need a very basic understanding on what went on in WWII to understand what's going on - but only basic. Well worth spending a few hours on.

  • makes kids think!

    Read this as a child and was talking to a friend about it and i said how it must be read/worth reading as it's such a 'difficult' subject to approach.
