The Blurb On The Back:
The story of The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about.
If you do start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old-boy called Bruno. (Although this isn't a book for nine-year-olds). And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence. Fences like this exist all over the world. We hope you never have to cross such a fence.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
I wonder if this would go over the heads of children under the age of 10 and at times I think it's a little too emotionally manipulative, but this is nontheless a book that I'd definitely recommend to anyone wishing to introduce their child to the subject of the Holocaust in a way that brings home the horrors without going into detail on the brutality.
