About this listen

David escapes from the concentration camp where he has spent his entire life and flees across Europe. He is utterly alone – who can he trust? What will await him? And all the while, how can he be sure that they won’t catch up with him...David learns that his polite manner, his haunted eyes and his thin features are strange to other people. He must learn to fend for himself in this strange new world.

This is The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas meets Jonathan Safran Foer for children. An incredible story of survival against all odds and self discovery.

One of the most memorable books I read as a teenager. Listening to it on Audible reduced me ti tears again. The narrator was brilliant. The plot is beautifully structured and extremely touching. It tells of a boy born into a concentration camp, escaping into the world and how he survives on his way home to a place he does not know. I would highly recommend it.
