The boy in the striped pajamas

This week I read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas By John Boyne. This book is about a nine-year-old boy named Bruno who has a perfect wealthy life, living in a house with 5 floors! One day he comes back from school and sees his maid, Maria, packing up all his belongings. He asks her, where they are going and she answers that they are moving due to his Fathers job as a soldier. When he arrives at his new home, he hates it. No one to play with, nothing to do, and so he decides to go explore. He finds a little boy his age, in striped pj's sitting on the ground looking down. They become friends and then, dun dun dun.... This book is a little sad and not for younger people so it is more of a advanced level of reading. It has lots of good description, and I really enjoyed it.

Pages: 216
Next weeks book: Wake
