Editor reviews

Now continues Morris Gleitzman children's series about two friends in Nazi-occupied Poland. It follows the author's audiobooks Once and Again. Now a grandfather, Felix, faces an awful event together with his granddaughter, Zelda. Australian actress Mary-Anne Fahey believably plays young Zelda, the point-of-view character. She embodies Zelda's innocence and sincerity with a sweet voice that will mesmerize young listeners. Fans of the stories about young Felix will enjoy coming full circle with this final edition of the series.

My son and I have read or listened to all of the Once series together and Now was another great little book. Gleitzman manages to be funny while dealing with some very big themes, without ever patronising his audience or belittling the subject matter. Now steps outside of the timeline of Once and Then but continues and develops the themes. Would thoroughly recommend for children 11+.

Loved it, just like all of the Once series

It was so sad when Zelda was hung up in the town with their owner.

Great

I have been reading the series with my goddaughter, and, apart from this book, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it!
This story was told by Felix‘s granddaughter. Although you would never believe it, as she does refer to him as Felix, not grandad or Gramps. Even when she talks about how her dad told her stories about Felix, it made me wonder, what kind of relationship Felix had with his own son. Because it didn’t seem like he told his daughter about his dad, but rather about a man called Felix, who survived the Second World War, as a Jew.
I did miss Felix’s voice, I wanted to know more about what happened to Anya, Gabriec, and Tyrone. Not to talk of baby Ruby.

Missed Felix!!
