- book by Dan Smith
Torn between the anger of his father getting killed in Russia
fighting for Hitler and the frustration of being housekept is
growing in the little twelve year old Karl makes many
important discoveries.
1)His papa didn't want to leave him and go to war.
2)Being a part of the Hitler Youth is nothing to be proud of.
3)His brother is not an embarrassment to him.
4)Hitler is a bad man.
With his father dead at war, he is taken to his Opa and Oma (grandparents) and is housekept.He is rescued from loneliness by a girl called Lisa. Together they find out his brother's secret of him being in the Edelweiss Pirates and the ruthless killings that Wolff has been doing and just as a family should stick together they decide on opposing the war.
The book is written well in perspective of a small child's feeling at the time on the war and how he thinks being a 12 year old will not make him a negligible contribution or is going to stop him.
If family relations and war themed books are your thing then this is a definitely a must-read for you.
Thanks!
