Description
In the shadow of World War II, a young boy is swept into a dangerous journey where survival depends on quick thinking, courage, and the fragile hope that tomorrow can be better than today. As he navigates shifting loyalties and escalating threats, he must decide what to believe about the people around him—and what it means to protect others when fear is everywhere. Blending dark humor with a child’s perspective, this gripping story explores resilience, moral choice, and the power of storytelling in the face of unimaginable cruelty. Morris Gleitzman’s distinctive, compassionate style makes the stakes feel immediate while inviting readers to reflect on empathy, humanity, and the cost of war.
