Publisher's Summary

David escapes from the concentration camp where he has spent his entire life and flees across Europe. He is utterly alone – who can he trust? What will await him? And all the while, how can he be sure that they won’t catch up with him...David learns that his polite manner, his haunted eyes and his thin features are strange to other people. He must learn to fend for himself in this strange new world.

This is The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas meets Jonathan Safran Foer for children. An incredible story of survival against all odds and self discovery.

The chapters r weird

The only thing that I didn’t like is that the chapters were not fully put in the right spots. Like ch.1 was ch.1 and 2 and 3 so it was hard but otherwise I think u guys did great

Beautiful and Profound

Such a profound story - this book offered many opportunities to reflect on what makes life beautiful, as well as the brokenness of humanity. It may have been written for children, but it is that kind of book that is rewarding for anyone. Highly recommended. I'll be repeat listening to this one.
