Product Detail:
Berlin, 1942: When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers
that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a
promotion and the family must move to a new house far, far away, where
there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence stretches
as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people in
the distance.
But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides
that there must be more to this desolate new place than meets the eye.
While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and
circumstances are very different from his own, and their meeting
results in a friendship that has devastating consequences.
