The Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas by John Boyne
In my opinion everybody should read this book. It was so well written, it tells a story through the naivity of a child when the reader realises the horror that is going on around him. The ending just made me cry although I had realised what was going to happen somehow it didn't matter that I knew I still wanted it to be different.
I hope schools will adopt this book - I hope many will continue to read it so that we don't forget what we as human's are capable of.
I will read it again - I will savour the words and yes I found it amazing research for writing a children's book. Not that I believe for one minute I could write a book like that.
Please if you haven't get a copy, beg, borrow, steal if you have to - but read it and understand.
