I downloaded this book from Wilbor to listen to it. We don't own the book but we do own the movie (which I haven't watched yet).
This is a hard book to write about. The outline of the story is this - Bruno is nine and lives in Berlin (1942). One day he finds out that his father has been promoted and they are moving. Of course he is distressed to leave his friends with whom he goes on adventures and explores. The new house is far away. With a little exploring he finds out there is a fence and on the other side are lots of people who are dressed alike. Eventually he meets a boy his own age who wears striped pajama and they strike up a friendship. The whole book is told from Bruno's point of view.
The end is not pleasant - just a warning. Not everyone will want to hear/read this story.
