The boy in the stripped pyjamas

Bruno is a nine years old boy growing up in Berlin during WW2. He live with his father who is part of the Nazi party. He has a 12 year old sister and a Jewish maid named Maria.

After a visit by Adolf Hitler his father is promoted to commander therefore he would have to move to out to a house with a concentration camp far behind the house however not to far but you could see it in the distance.

Bruno father never told him about the camp and Bruno was to young to realise so he decided to go and explore without anyone know.

As Bruno arrived at the camp without being seen he met a Jewish boy named Shumul. Shumul claimed that his family were on the same side of the fence however he is separated from them. Both boys then learn they share the same birthday. Very soon the become best friends, however Bruno still doesn't understand the situation...

This is a really good book and very emotional. I would rate this book a 5 stars as it has a really good moral and story. To enjoy the book you would need to understand it . I would suggest that this book is read by a person with the reading age of 13 or above.
