Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne
The
Boy in the Striped Pyjama's is a sad story about the Holocaust and
a forbidden friendship. Bruno is an 8 year old curious boy
who wants to be an explorer when he grows up. His father is a soldier, that
works for Hitler. When his father get promoted, Bruno and his entire family
have to move away from Berlin, to Poland, so his father can work at the
horrible concentration camp 'Auschwitz'. He doesn't know about the war, or
understand why he has to leave Berlin. When they arrive in Poland,
it isn't anything like what he expected. There are not any kids out
playing, there aren't fruit stands, and the house it way too small! The house is
not even good for exploring, and the backyard is out of bounds. When he looks
out his window, he can see the farms with the strange people wearing
striped pyjamas. One day, Bruno decides to go exploring in the
backyard anyway, to get a closer look at the farmers. Careful not to be
caught, he slips out of the house. Eventually, he sees a person behind the
fence. He gets close enough to see its a little boy, just like him! They
meet each other, and Bruno finds out his name is Shmuell. Bruno starts to
meet him everyday. Bruno knows he shouldn't be talking to him, but
he doesn't see why... Will Bruno get caught? What will happen? One of
my favourite books ever, make sure to bring the tissues!
