Having seen the film I was interested to
read the book and see how they differed. I found it interesting to read about
the war from a child’s point of view, to consider the naivety of children who
didn’t realise what adults in their country were doing to others. I
particularly like the friendship that is created between the boys, regardless
of their culture or religion. I feel children can identify with the feeling of
being trapped and wanting to explore what is ‘out of bounds’. A book creating
great opportunities to discuss ‘difficult’ topics with children and consider
how they affected others.
