Felix, a Jewish boy in Poland in 1942, is hiding from the Nazis in a Catholic orphanage. The only problem is that he doesn't know anything about the war, and thinks he's only in the orphanage while his parents travel and try to salvage their bookselling business. And when he thinks his parents are in danger, Felix sets off to warn them--straight into the heart of Nazi-occupied Poland. To Felix, everything is a story: Why did he get a whole carrot in his soup? It must be sign that his parents are coming to get him. Why are the Nazis burning books? They must be foreign librarians sent to clean out the orphanage's outdated library. But as Felix's journey gets increasingly dangerous, he begins to see horrors that not even stories can explain.
Despite his grim suroundings, Felix never loses hope. Morris Gleitzman takes a painful subject and expertly turns it into a story filled with love, friendship, and even humor.

the book sounds vary good to read
This is one of the greatest books that I have read for various classes. Most of the students that I read it to are about Years 5 and 6. They love it because of the mystery, the drama and comic relief. It's a comedy and a tragedy at the same. I recommend this book for all Year 5 and 6 students!
Hi! I realized that you were new to DOGO, and you are a teacher. I'm guessing you have all your students using the same DOGO account. Did you know that you can make different accounts for your students? That would definitely be nicer for you, and them, because it's hard to let all your students individuality show with just one account. You could see each of their progress individually, instead of having their names be put at the end. Did you know that in the rules of DOGO comments, it says no real names. Just thought I would help you grasp onto more of DOGO.
Im going to try this book i have always had a historical side of me. Also i have read books like this and i really liked it and movies too!
This book is mostly about the world war 1 or 2 through the eyes of a young boy!
this book is really sad
