He is an author of 8 novels including this story. His novels are published into 42 languages. The story mostly told through Bruno s eyes, but also was allowed to freely move into other characters thoughts. It is told from third point of view. The book is focused on Shmuel and Bruno’s friendship. This book talks about Nazi and concentration camps and has sold more than 5 million copies.
