Then

Then is the second book in this series by Morris Gleitzman, set in the middle of World War Two. The main character is a young boy called Felix, who is a Jew, but no one other than Zelda knows, the six-year old he saved from a burning house. Together they kidnapped by the Nazis, escaped from them and lived with other children in a basement until they were captured and put on a train headed for a death camp. They jumped from a moving train and managed to dodge the machine gun bullets and escape into the forest. This book is about what happens to them Then and onwards.

This book had more love in it with the introduction of Leopold the dog and his owner. For both of them, this is what let them survive the harsh terrain of Poland, and for them to live a bit of a true childhood, and tells them what really matters.

Yet again, Morris Gleitzman has managed to capture the power of being a child in this point in history, and has also managed to display it such a manner that it makes you cry waterfalls.

This book must be read by every single person on the globe who can read because otherwise these children's stories will be forgotten, and that must never happen. READ IT NOW!!!!
