This was the second book in this series to make me cry. The imagery that his words trigger is enough to allow you to see the characters and their situation in your mind, offering an immersive story. Gleitzman continues to write with such care and consideration for the real stories that this is based on, voicing Felix in such a believable and heart aching way. As always, there are so many things that I loved about this book. We first rejoin the story with Felix being hidden by Gabriek before a head injury has them seeking out partisan protection in the forest. In this book, we follow Felix as he finds himself in more awful situations beginning on his thirteenth birthday. Felix’s story is one that I just can’t seem to let go of. It’s probably no surprise at all that I’m back reviewing another book in this series. Publisher: Puffin Books, owned by Penguin Group After they ruined my thirteenth birthday I was determined. After they killed my best friend I was angry. Blurb: So much was lost – can hope survive? After the Nazis took my parents I was scared.
