Who would you recommend the book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas to?
Absolutely! The book is used in many fifth grade classrooms. The book deals with many difficult issues, but in a child-like or child-minded way. Because the story is written from an 8 year olds perspective, many things are toned down due to a lack of understanding. I am using this book with an entire middle school. If you are still uncertain, read through the book yourself. It will only take about a week or a weekend depending on how much time you have or how fast you read.

What is the Tone to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas?
The tone is innocent as it is coming from the view of a little boy, Bruno, who is only nine years old. He doesn't know exactly what is going on, what his father's job is, who is Hitler, etc. The readers see the horrible past through the innocent eyes of a confused, yet curious, little boy. The ending of the novel gives off a sad tone however, after the family realizes what has happened to Bruno.
