'Haunting . . . dangerous and desperate, full of courage and hope' The Guardian

Morris Gleitzman's two best-selling novels, which follow the story of a Jewish boy named Felix during the Holocaust, in one volume for the first time.

Once introduces us to Felix as a young boy trying to survive in the concentration camp and make sense of the world around him.

Then continues Felix's story as he attempts to find his family using all the resourcefulness and determination he can muster.

These books are a must-read for anyone looking for a powerful, thought-provoking, and deeply moving story. Written with humour and heart, Morris Gleitzman's multi-award-winning Felix series is a powerful reminder of the resilience and hope that can be found even in the most dire of circumstances.

Written for young adult readers, their message is universal and can be enjoyed by readers of all ages.
