At the
beginning of the story Felix is living in hiding at a Catholic orphanage. But when he finds a carrot in his soup he
wrongly assumes it is from his parents and that they are coming to get
him. He then decides to go find them in
order to save them from the Nazis who he believes are after book selling
Jews. As Felix wanders throughout Poland
he narrowly escapes several threats from the Nazis. This book is told through his eyes and his
perception of life as a story. It is a
fascinating look at the war through an innocent child. Through it all he holds onto hope and love
for the other children around him.
I really
enjoyed this book. I have read a lot of
books about the Holocaust but it was interesting to see the events through the
eyes of a naïve child. There were
several times that I held my breath because Felix was unknowingly walking into
a dangerous situation. It was
interesting to figure out what was really happening. I listened to the audio version of the book
and the narrator was the author which was also very cool. I loved how every chapter started as “Once….”. This was very well done.
