Berlin, 1942: When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move to a new house far, far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people in the distance.
But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different from his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.
Heartrending and beautifully written Bruno is 9 years old. His father has a cool job, he's in charge of a lot of stuff. He runs a big place, with a huge wire fence, and a lot of people—men and boys—on the other side. They are skinny, they work hard, they are all very dirty, they are all wearing what looks like striped pajamas. There are soldiers in there, who poke at and laugh at the men and boys. Bruno has overheard his parents talking, and knows that his father's boss, “The Fury”, is the one who arranged for them to move to the new home. Bruno's older sister tells him that the place is called Out With.Bruno is Not Allowed to approach the camp, or the fence. But, since he plans on becoming an explorer when he grows up, he decides to Go Exploring (wearing an old overcoat and boots, such as an explorer might wear). And on the other side of the fence he sees a speck. A dot. At tiny thing that, as he gets closer, reveals itself to be a boy. Just another boy, perhaps a boy for Bruno to play with.This book is startling, horrifying, and yet the story is told in a charming way. Bruno and his friendship with Shmuel through the fence is just the story of two boys, but also a story of a Jewish Concentration Camp, told through the unaware eyes of the son of the man in charge of the camp. Bruno's naivete brings the humanity into the story, and makes it unique. Just a wonderful, scary, suspenseful and at the same time heartrending—story, leading up to a beautifully written climax.Heartbreaking and Beautiful I've now read this book twice. The writing style is amazing by allowing the reader to read through a child's perspective. The innocence of it all truly grips you - the spelling, the pronunciation, the willingness to befriend anyone, and choosing to live one's life based on what is right vs what others want you to do. In think the childlike perspective is what makes this story even more heartbreaking. A simple and beautiful friendship complicated by a war fueled by such a hate. This book is a sad and beautiful reminder of how the hatefulness of some can so easily bleed into the hearts of others, but also how a childlike mentality can help to bridge gaps across cultures, races, etc. I recommend for everyone to read this book!A masterful book! My son and I read this for his ELA class and we both LOVED it!! Although written for students, it has a storyline that touches all who read it both young and old!! It's got a beautiful storyline of friendship and tolerance...and an ending that will leave you speechless!!! An excellent read!!
