The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne


I just finished this book and talk about thought provoking! Whew! It was written from the nine year old, main character's point of view, Bruno. He just doesn't understand why he has to move, he thinks his father mustn't have done a good job, to get the family transferred to "Out-With." Being completely bored, Bruno decides to go out exploring and discovers a new friend, Shmuel, who lives in his striped pajamas.
Wonderful book that pulls at your heart. 5 out of 5!
