One Book One Community - Once

We are reading the book Once by Morris Gleitzman. We are reading it because it is the book chosen for One Book, One Community. There are 16 school in the North Inner City reading the book. The book is based in Poland in 1942 during World War 2. The book is about a Jewish boy called Felix who escaped from an orphanage and met a girl called Zelda. They both tried to get to to the city when they were caught by Nazis. They thought the Nazis could help them find there parents but we know there parents are dead. But instead the Nazis brought them to a ghetto when they ran out of the line. They thought the Nazis were burning Jewish books until they saw a Jews person get shot. Then a man called Barney hid them in a cellar were he was hiding and feeding several other kids. I really like this book so far. We are learning all about World War 2 in history. By Josh Doran I would really recommend this book to others.
