It feels a bit strange 'loving' a book about the Holocaust, but I suppose you have to put it in context. Most books on this subject are aimed at slightly older children, so this is the first example I've seen where the language is accessible to primary school children. My son is nine and he would definitely be able to access this from a reading point of view - I'm less sure that he would understand the back-story because he doesn't have the general knowledge of the Holocaust to allow him to understand what's 'really' happening when Felix comes across situations which we as adults understand very well. I have read the first three books in the series now, and I do want my son to experience them, as it's an important subject, particularly is this current climate of intolerance we're experiencing. I will be starting by reading the first couple of chapters of the first book to him, and I'll see if he's naturally picking up the 'real' story rather than seeing it through Felix's innocent eyes. I will update this review when I have seen how he manages it. 8th March 2017The order to read these books is Once, Then, Now, After, Soon

Wonderfully written
Wonderful book. I purchased Once for my 10 yea old son who is learning about WW2 at school. He loved it so much I bought the second book in the trilogy (Then), which he also devoured. I then decided to read them both myself, and I am so glad I did. Beautifully written from m the perspective of a 10 year old boy. Horrific events throughout the story, had me in tears at the end. But I would definitely recommend.

So captivating
After reading the first book ONCE and you got to know the characters you start to wonder what will happen next that's why the next book THEN is so good it explains what has happens and shows Felix making friends and meet genas husband then watching his only family die because of one little boy after that it is revenge Time This book makes you feel as tho you are there and makes you feel the emotions that you would feel as tho your there ...maƱana
