Article Of Books Once (Once #1)

Finding this book in the childrens section of the library, I took it out for my daughter to read. Having glanced at some reviews I thought I would look at it first to see if it were suitable for an 11 yr old. When I had read a few lines I continued to read the whole book as it was such a compelling story. It was very harrowing and it would not be suitable for younger or sensitive readers. This story about an orphanage during world war 2 has a wonderful main character. Felix is Jewish and living

Once I read a story about a 10 year old Jewish boy named Felix who lived in Poland in 1942 and I felt a terrible sadness as I read.Once is very poignantly narrated by Felix. He tells the reader that he had been placed in a Catholic orphanage by his parents, booksellers in Poland, and has lived there for three years. He also tells the reader that he likes to make up stories and is considered by others to be quite good at it. Felix always carries a notebook in which he writes down his stories and

I remember reading this book as a child still in primary school. It was a project and I was the only child in the class who fully understood what the child in the story was talking about. The burning books, the angry men in uniforms, the train, the carriages, the fear... What he was experiencing. No one else knew what it was that was so scary and terrifying about this story, except me. I guess that makes it worse in the long run.I think that's why this story has stuck with me into my adulthood.

The fact that this book managed to captivate all 30 of my year 6 students is testament to the narrative of this book. Not afraid to shy away from the dark themes of the holocaust, this book will make you laugh, cry and wonder the capability for kindness and hate that humans possess. An exceptional read.

When I was young 'un, we had this storytelling board game in our house. If memory serves me right, it was called, simply, "Once..."The basis of the game was to create a story from a card prompt and people had to guess whether it was true or not - or something like that anyway.As many things do, at first this game went over my head a bit. *swoosh* Because in my everyday life, whenever I would try to make up a story (or more accurately - what you might call a white lie) to my friends or family,

What can you say about a book with a small child living through the Holocaust. The story focuses on Felix, a small 10 year old Jewish boy, who is living in an orphanage. His parents put him in this place a little over three years ago for safety. So he isn't exactly an orphan. Felix is very naive and believes the Nazi's are burning books because they don't like books and sets off to find his parents and save all the books in his parents book store. I was a bit shocked initially how naive he is

Once is the story of 10 year old Felix, a Jewish boy living in a Catholic orphanage during WWII. His parents are booksellers and Felix believes that they are out searching for ways to help their business. He doesn't realize that they are dead, killed by the Nazi's and not coming back. Felix has a wild imagination and is always making up stories. So when he receives a whole carrot in his soup, he takes it as a sign that his parents are still alive and coming back for him. When they don't come, he
