Publisher's Summary

When Pierrot becomes an orphan, he must leave his home in Paris for a new life with his aunt Beatrix, a servant in a wealthy household at the top of the German mountains. But this is no ordinary time, for it is 1935 and the Second World War is fast approaching; and this is no ordinary house, for this is the Berghof, the home of Adolf Hitler.

Quickly, Pierrot is taken under Hitler's wing and is thrown into an increasingly dangerous new world: a world of terror, secrets and betrayal, from which he may never be able to escape.

Beautifully written like all John Boyne Novels

The story gives a glimpse into the WWII Germany and France, shows us intimately how children and youth were radicalized through nazi propaganda and how Hitler manipulated people around him creating a kind of fan following. The Story also shows how people resisted Fuhrer and his propaganda.
