The story is told through the perspective of Bruno, a young boy, who meets a Jew through a concentration camp fence. Because he's innocent and oblivious to everything going on, you have to work out what is happening from what you know. It's a good read for all ages but perhaps even more touching for younger children, who don't know much about that time. However, I felt it wasn't quite as brilliant as everyone says.
