**Two young boys encounter the best and worst of humanity during the
Holocaust in this powerful read that USA Today called "as memorable an
introduction to the subject as The Diary of Anne Frank."
**
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.
