Nine-year-old Bruno moves to a strange new home with his family, where he discovers a fence separating him from a boy named Shmuel.
What begins as an innocent friendship soon leads Bruno into a world he cannot understand—a world shaped by hatred, cruelty and war.
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is a powerful and heartbreaking story about friendship, innocence and the devastating consequences of prejudice.
Pickled Pepper Guest Bookseller Tasneem Abdur-Rashid says: "My 12-year-old read this over the summer and he said it was heartbreaking and gripping. I found it profound and really hit home how innocent children are often the biggest collateral in fascism."
