Bruno and his family must move to another location for Father’s work. The new place is puzzling and unattractive compared to Berlin but when Bruno meets a boy his own age life seems to get a lot better...
Don’t be fooled by the simplicity at the beginning of this book; Bruno may be a naïve 9 year old but the story is a distressing and upsetting parable – one which ought to be read by everyone. Our horror grows as Bruno’s naivety remains and it is this parallel interpretation that delivers such a shockingly brutal read.
**The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a “black dot book” (restricted to Year 7 & 8). It needs to be read with a certain amount of maturity. It is also a book that needs to be talked about. Have your parents or teachers read it too or come to the library and we can have a chat.
