Book of the Week: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
by
John Boyne

In 1942, young Bruno, the son of a Nazi officer, moves with his family to a place he refers to as "Out-With".  Bored and lonely he
begins to explore the area around his new home and that's when he meets and befriends a boy his own age in striped pajamas who lives behind a wire fence.

If you go on this journey with Bruno you, too, will soon arrive at this fence. 

“Fences like this exist all over the world. We hope you never have to encounter one.”
