This new young adult novel is a powerful moral tale told through the eyes of a naive 9 year old boy whose father is a Nazi Commandant. The innocent viewpoint of the narrator provides a thin disguise of the brutal horrors of a Nazi death camp in Poland where Bruno, the young boy, secretly finds a friend in boy prisoner.
I highly recommend this for junior high and high school libraries and also as required reading for any Holocaust study units.
Let me know if you want to read this.

This looks good, would like to read this one at some point. Mom is always looking for recommendations to her library- so I'll pass her along this info so she can order.
