"As in previous Boyne work (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas), unlikely encounters and occurences abound . . . it's made palatable by the third-person narration, which keeps readers experiencing events solely from Alfie's intelligent but childlike point of view." --The Horn Book
"As much about familial love as about war, this novel tugs at the heartstrings, creating a sentimental but sound story that would shine as a classroom readaloud." --BCCB
"Boyne, much like in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (David Fickling Books, 2006), takes readers into the throes of war as seen through the eyes of a child." --School Library Journal
"Another child's-eye view of war from the author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2006); here the child is working class, the conflict, World War I . . . A vivid, accessible tale of the staggering price war exacts from those who had no voice in waging it." --Kirkus Reviews
"In the final pages, the tension rises precipitously and the harrowing ending, in which Bruno does finally act, is sure to take readers' breath away." --Publishers Weekly on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
"Deeply affecting. . . beautiful and sparsely written." --The Wall Street Journal on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
"A small wonder of a book . . . this is what fiction is supposed to do." --The Guardian on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
"Powerful and unsettling . . . as memorable an introduction to the subject as The Diary of Anne Frank." --USA Today on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
