I have just finsihed this and found it excellent. It is a childrens book but well woth reading.

Has anyone else read it? It's set at a concentration camp and told from a childs point of view but with a twist. Can't say anymore or I will give it away but it really is excellent and thought provoking.

I have just given it my twelve year old to read.

No but it sounds familiar as if I have been told about it. Sounds like the sort of book I'd like. Will look out for it. Thanks

Haven't heard of that one but it sounds very similar to another children's book I read last year which you might also enjoy

The Devils' Arithmetic by Jane Yolen (I think!) also set in a concentration camp.
