The Boy at the Top of the Mountain
The Boy at the Top of the Mountain by John Boyne, the author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, is another extraordinary historical fiction about World War II and innocence in the face of evil.
When Pierrot becomes an orphan, he must leave his home in Paris for a new life with his aunt Beatrix, a servant in a wealthy Austrian household. But this is no ordinary time, for it is 1935 and the Second World War is fast approaching; and this is no ordinary house, for this is the Berghof, the home of Adolf Hitler. Pierrot is quickly taken under Hitler's wing and thrown into an increasingly dangerous new world: a world of terror, secrets, and betrayal from which he may never be able to escape. With skill and emotional detachment, Boyne tells Pieter's story through descriptions and dialogue that are concise, spare, and vivid . . . . Pieter's traumatic childhood, infatuation and interactions with Hitler, adolescent angst, and destructive choices will captivate teens and prompt thought-provoking discussion. --School Library Journal, starred review Boyne's (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, 2006) story is unarguably a powerful one with an often visceral impact. --Booklist A compelling account of the attractions of power, the malleability of youth and the terrible pain of a life filled with regret. --The Guardian John Boyne delivers a poignant tale of innocence ruined by Nazism. This is a story full of suspense and heartbreak that will leave readers wanting more. Compare this book to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. --School Library ConnectionPRP: 55.74 Lei

AMAZING. JUST AMAZING.
I have no words to describe this book. It had been amazing.
I bought it soon after I finished my exams and had nothing to do the entire summer. At first, I didn't want to read it, and chose other books about Nazis and etc. I began reading it mid november, and fell in love with it imediatlly. I don't think I've ever hated a character after half a book so much like Peter, but there's a start in everything.
It described SO WELL the manipulation that the Reich has done to the children during the war, and the way they had been indoctrinated since a young, young age. 1000000/10. Sending love to the author (No, but all his books were a bomb)
