The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas

This 220 page book by John Boyne is really heartwarming. Its about a boy named Bruno who lives a regular life at his home in Berlin, Germany. Then, he moves to a house called "Out With" that has a big fence that goes on 'forever' across the street. Bruno meets a boy named Schmuel that is a Jewish captive of the Nazis. Over time, Schmuel and Bruno become best friends and have many great meetings.  I don't want to summarize the rest of the book so if you read it, try to finish this summary. Read this book if you are not afraid to cry.
