About this deal

Anytime you need a slice of reality, just pick up the Boy in the Striped Pj's, or the Diary of Anne Frank. Morris Gleitzman is widely known by many people through the semi-autobiographical columns in the Sydney Herald Magazine, Good Weekend and the Age. Soon is the 4th powerfully moving addition to Morris Gleitzman's bestselling Second World War series about Felix and Zelda. I hate that it broke my heart trampled on it, sent it through a shredder before using the remains to make a smoothie. Only b/c Felix mentioned a few things about him and some other character who showed up at the end of THEN and some things they'd done towards rhe end of the war and also after the war.

But can his gift for storytelling keep him one step ahead of the Nazis and help him find his parents? It should be difficult to believe that human beings are capable of such atrocities but somehow, it isn't that difficult to imagine. And being so close to the fires - and seeing those places from how they were hit, to after the fires is heart-wrenching. I absolutely loved Felix and his willingness to want to help his young 11or12 year old granddaughter at times that she has nothing to be worried about.

Don’t they realise that when three year nines are standing this close to a year six kid, it’s not a social event? But um, more importantly, Once sounded to me like a rehash of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, a book I loathed. This is one of my favorite books; I read this in grade 4 and I found it absolutely sad but amazing at the same time. Felix and Zelda are not real, but in writing ‘Once’ Gleitzman was inspired by true events and real-life heroes. Local girls bully Zelda in the opening scene, and readers should be shocked and frightened by this experience.

Neben Reise im August bisher mein Favorit, was Holocaustliteratur (für Kinder und Jugendliche) betrifft. Once and the two books above are great stories but also explain it in a way that is rewarding to the reader. One of the most heartbreaking things I found about the story (apart from the whole Holocaust thing, which obviously gets top spot) is the way Felix makes up stories in his head as a way of trying to explain away the awful things that are happening around him. The author touches on the similar personality traits of the two main characters and it fits in to the book series well! Foi publicado em Português por último e eu prefiro ler pela ordem original para evitar alguns spoilers, mas na verdade todos os livros podem ser lidos de forma isolada.At first that was jarring, as book 2 left off at a somewhat pivotal moment back in WW2, and also we were being given references to characters and events we hadn't read about yet, but ultimately it worked well the more I listened. As the book progresses, we see that maybe the things that happened to Felix in the war are still affecting him today and when a natural disaster strikes he and Zelda have to work out what's most important. Morris Gleitzman has discovered the difficult trick of changing reality so that poignancy and laughter are never far apart.
