review 1: A story that reminds us of the cruelty of war and the conflict of religious beliefs. Felix is a young boy who is desperately wanted to find his parents. His attempt to look for them turned to be not easy as Felix thought but it brought him to a roller-coaster adventure, trying NOT to be detected as a Jewish orphan.The author allows readers to feel what Felix wanted in life - rescuing Zelda and be part of his plan! It is a heartbreaking story - full of bravery, hope and imagination ... the only things that made Felix's stories alive.This book (contains two stories, Once and Then) is something to be blended with John Boyne's fable, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
review 2: Very moving, very sad. A Jewish boy, Felix, escapes from the shelter of his Catholic board... moreing house because he wants to find his parents. He was put there by his parents to protect him from the Nazis but he very innocently believes his parents are coming back. He runs away and finds a girl called Zelda, whose parents have been shot, and they travel together. The horrors of this time are very moving told through the imaginative and innocent eyes of this boy. less
