The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (Vintage Children's Classics)

by John Boyne

This quiet, powerful story follows Bruno, a nine-year-old German boy, during the Second World War. He makes friends with a boy on the other side of a fence, and their friendship stays with the reader long after the last page. It is a moving way into a hard piece of history, and it opens up good talks between parents and older children.
