This story is set in Germany, and is about a 9 yr old boy and his family, they move home suddenly to an isolated part, where he has no friends... until he meets another little boy, the thing being, that his friend lives on the other side of the fence.
You may have heard of this book, it was made into a film recently, so i don't want to say much else, but i did feel the ending was far too sad for my liking.
This story was funny and sad at times, but definitely a good read, once i got into it i couldn't put it down.
Six Book Challenge
26 ABE students have completed the Six Book Challenge for 2009. For the bloggers who took the challenge last year, this meant thinking how they could make the task more challenging. This may have been about reading longer, more complex books or about thinking more critically about the books when writing their reviews.
