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.

Excellent book. This captivating story was well written. People of ANY age can relate to this book. Even though it's a book about the Holocaust, almost anyone that understands the bonds of humanity and friendship can relate to this storyline. In addition, most human beings have experienced a "fence" in their life. We have all (at one point or another) had a wall that separated us from someone or something.

This book is warm, chilling and haunting. So far, 3 people have agreed with this synopsis. This book should be required reading, but I'm not sure for whom anymore. We just can't forget what DID happen, and some people tend to just forget. Once I get this book back, as it's going onto 3 others, I'm keeping it. To read again, once I stop thinking about it. It's just excellent. If you like kids and history, make this book on your next list to buy.
