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 might be kinder. As he navigates shifting loyalties and escalating threats, he must decide what to believe, what to protect, and how far he can go to keep others safe. Blending humor and heart with a child’s-eye perspective, the story explores themes of resilience, moral choice, and the power of storytelling in the face of fear. Morris Gleitzman’s distinctive, accessible style turns a harrowing historical backdrop into an unforgettable, emotionally honest coming-of-age tale.
