Once

This is an amazing book that I suggest everyone should read. The story set in 1942, during World War Two. It is about an orphan Jewish boy named Felix. Felix loves reading, as his parents are booksellers. At the beginning of the story, Felix notices that there are gangs of Nazis travelling around Poland and burning Jewish books. Desperated to save his parents' books, Felix runs away from the orphanage to go back to his family's bookstore. He begins his adventure finding his parents and finding the truth about the beliefs that he was made to believe in. During his journey, Felix accompanied with Zelda- a girl who he saved from her burnt house. Soon, Felix realizes that not only the Jewish books that the Nazis hate, they hate the Jewish people. In addition to the big shock, Felix finds out that the Nazis follow the order of Adolf Hitler- the 'saint' that he was made to admire for years.
I think this story is brilliant. Everyone deserves to have something good in their life, At least Once.
