Story
Maurice Swift is handsome, charming, and hungry for fame. The one thing he doesn’t have is talent - but he’s not about to let a detail like that stand in his way. After all, a would-be writer can find stories anywhere. They don’t need to be his own. Working as a waiter in a West Berlin hotel in 1988, Maurice engineers the perfect opportunity: a chance encounter with celebrated novelist Erich Ackermann. He quickly ingratiates himself with the powerful - but desperately lonely - older man, teasing out of Erich a terrible, long-held secret about his activities during the war.

Story
Ponyboy can count on his brothers. And on his friends. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up "greasers" like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect, until the night someone takes things too far.

Story
Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank’s remarkable diary has since become a world classic - a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with Nazis occupying Holland, a 13-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, they and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annex” of an old office building.

Riveting, Important, Timely.
A vital and important story for all readers, including, perhaps especially, children and teens.
To gain an understanding that this could happen again- and has since 1945 - is one of the most important social lessons today.
Albeit that this story is a fable, it cannot by diminished by the reality of the entire travesty of the "how and why" around this horrible time in human history that lacked such bravery and honesty by the masses, and yet such compliance and complacency seemed to run amuck around the world.
We should look through the lens of this story and recognize how we continue to fail in our ability to recognize, advocate and protect humanity and the sacredness of all life still today.

Utterly Chilling and unforgettable
I was intrigued by the "description" of this story that suggested that it was better not to know too much about the story going into it, so my curiosity led me to listen to it. I was quite soon very engaged in this story and it wound me tighter and tighter in it's grip. There was small issues found annoying at first (the writer is rather precious with some expressions) however, when considering that this is from the viewpoint of a 9 year old boy, it is completely understandable.
The narrator was brilliant! He captured the dialogue of the various characters brilliantly. As to the story - well, this is a tale I will never forget. I was literally chilled (like the hair on my arms stood up on end) when I realized where this story was going. Brilliant tale!! I would highly recommend it.

Read with students and they really enjoyed it.
I used this to supplement reading chapters and my students love it. Story is simple enough to be enjoyed by children but interesting enough to be enjoyed by adults.

Great Narration
If you've ever considered reading this book, the audiobook is a fantastic way to do so. The narrator is perfect for the story, and may even be my favorite narrator so far... anyone who thinks this book might be simplified or childish is entirely incorrect. The book is meant to be read by many, and it is written from the perspective of a nine-year-old boy. it is not meant to be a single reference for that time in history, but instead, I think it's meant to be a jumping off point; a way to start a conversation.

Excellent Read
this book was completely not what I was expecting
It’s beautifully written and read extremely well and just the most incredibly well written book about such an awful time in our history and points us clearly to re-examine what is happening today. It is a book that spans all reading ages but if your children read it, be prepared to discuss if they have questions.

Poignant and very affecting
The incredible contrast between Bruno's innocence/ignorance and the reality of life at the camp was such an incredible and contemplative literary standpoint. What a great way to inspire a desire in readers, especially children, to question and learn more about the part of history. Thank you, John Boyne!
