A New York Times bestseller by John Boyne relates the story of the Holocaust and the notorious death camp Auschwitz from an interesting point of view, that of Bruno the young son of the new commander of Auschwitz. Because Bruno is so young and unaware of what is truly going on, the reader really knows more than Bruno. He tries to learn more about his new home by exploring the fenceline of the camp and befriending a young inmate. His ignorance of what the camp is truly about and this friendship lead to a tragic ending that highlights the innocence of all victims of the Holocaust.
