This is a very moving, poignant story of a twelve-year-old boy who has spent his entire life in a concentration camp. Upon his escape, the resulting story of his journey to Denmark is captivating, with an excellent conclusion. Read the book and see the movie with a box of tissues!

This is David's story - a little boy who grows up as the pet of a ruthless Nazi in a concentration camp and his journey to find refuge after he is given the chance to escape. He knows nothing of the world or how to survive, let alone cross a continent, in the hope of capturing something of his lost life.

The Chicago Tribune calls the book "extraordinary and unforgettable," and the School Library Journal says it is "the single finest novel ever written for children of about ages 9 to 13."

As a parent, you will enjoy it too. It certainly opens many doors for communication with young readers.
