(THIS BOOK IS SET IN WORLD WAR 2)This book, by Irish author John Boyne, is about a boy called Bruno who lives in Berlin (Germany) in a very nice, luxurious house with his parents, his sister Gretel and Maria "The maid". One day when he comes home from school, he discovers Maria packing all his belongings in crates. That’s because Bruno’s dad got the job of Commandant by Adolf Hitler so he needed to be closer to his work. That’s why they moved house to Poland in a house called Out-With the following week.Bruno is extremely upset about the consequences and one day he decides to go exploring in his back garden even if it’s "Out-of-Bounds.All he found was a wire fence and a boy (jew) called Shmuel in gray striped pyjamas sitting right next to it.They have a chat and find out that they share the same birthday date and they are both 9 years old.Bruno also asks Shmuel why all the people behind the wire fence are all wearing striped pijamas... From that day Bruno and Shmuel have little meetings every afternoon..... I don’t want to spoil the end for you :)

I highly recommend this book to children between 10-12 years old.

Enjoy:)))))

P.S: Read the book first and then watch the movie:)

This book has many stories in it, it isn`t just one story like many books. In some of the stories there are very funny parts and interesting parts. I really enjoyed reading these stories some of the stories actually teach you lessons. I recommend this book to people who like reading many stories in one book and like having a laugh.

This book is a brilliant book I would recommend this book to people who like trying to figure out a mystery.This book is very interesting it is about a girl called Kerry Dane who acted in a movie.She decided to go to a boarding school called Whyteleafe because she thought that if she became head girl she could do anything she wanted just because the children were in charge of the school.And every body thinks she`s nice like the character she played in the movie she acted in but Elizabeth, Julian and Joan know she isn`t and wait for her to be revealed but Elizabeth can`t wait and gets into trouble for accusing Kerry of stealing but soon everyone finds out how mean Kerry really is.

This book is an adventure and mystery book if you enjoy those types of books I recommend this book for you.My favourite characters in this book are Elizabeth Allen and a boy called Julian even though they get into trouble many times they know it wasn`t their fault and someone is trying to get Elizabeth into trouble they figure out the mystery and find out it`s all a mistake but in the end everyone is happy and Elizabeth and Julian are guity free they also figure out the mystery of the eaten strawberries and finish the summer play with Elizabeth as the Fairy Queen.
