This is a YA adult book. It is the tragic story of the Holocast seen in the eyes of innocent children. It is really eye opening to read. Bruno is the son on the Commandant who befriends a boy on the other side of the wired fence. They plan meetings and talk to each other from the other side. Bruno is very interested in what goes on behind that fence. The message in this book is powerful.
