Author: Morris Gleitzman
Synopsis:
Once I escaped from an orphanage to find Mum and Dad.
Once I saved a girl called Zelda from a burning house.
Once I made a Nazi with toothache laugh.
My name is Felix.
This is my story.
Everybody deserves to have something good in their life.
At least once.
Number of Pages: 160
Publising house: Puffin
Opinion:
This is a quite breath-taking story. Felix, a Jewish boy in Poland in 1942, is hiding from the Nazis in a Catholic orphanage. He escapes from orphanage to find them. He gets into different adventures and meets another child, Zelda and a very friendly dentist, Barney.
I think that if you like Nazi stories or soulful ones it would be great for you and although you don’t like Nazi stories I also recommend you to read it as it is a really different book. Morris Gleitzman has the ability to take a painful subject and turn it into a story that’s worth reading, full of love, friendship, war and even a little bit of humour.
