    Mia It was 1941 when Jewish orphan Felix was eager to find his family. Not knowing a thing about war and it's brutality, he was more uneducated then the other children living in the orphanage. Reality kicked in when he took the risk of finding his parents and took off without anyone knowing. The 9 year old boy, always thought of the positive side of things instead of the negative, part of this was not knowing Nazi's were out to murder every living Jewish person on the Earth.

    Throughout his trip, he met a young girl named Zelda, a 6 year old girl that lost her parents from soldiers working for the leader of the War (Adolf Hitler). They became somewhat family to each other. Though the odessy did not end there. They experienced one of the most horrible, yet splendorous adventures you could ever imagine. The series of Once, Then and Now's language is proper, clever and absolutely suspenseful. You could read one of the books in an afternoon or short train journey. I can assure you, you will feel like one of the characters or a third person in the story because of Morris Gleitzman's English and intelligence.

    Highly Recommended for mature audiences and clever people that follow my advice...! by Mia

    Reynaldo Ramos A story that reminds us of the cruelty of war and the conflict of religious beliefs. Felix is a young boy who is desperately wanted to find his parents. His attempt to look for them turned to be not easy as Felix thought but it brought him to a roller-coaster adventure, trying NOT to be detected as a Jewish orphan.

    The author allows readers to feel what Felix wanted in life - rescuing Zelda and be part of his plan! It is a heartbreaking story - full of bravery, hope and imagination ... the only things that made Felix's stories alive.

    This book (contains two stories, Once and Then) is something to be blended with John Boyne's fable, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. by Reynaldo Ramos
