The Guardian Once I escaped from an orphanage to find my Mum and Dad. Once I saved a girl called Zelda from a burning house. Once I made a Nazi with toothache laugh. My name is Felix. This is my story. The powerful and moving story of a young boy named Felix who, during the Holocaust, tries to survive and make sense of the world around him. Told with humour and heart, this book offers a unique perspective on one of the darkest chapters in human history and serves as a reminder of the resilience and hope that can be found even in the most dire of circumstances. *The reference at the end of the book to readers' notes refers to the teachers' notes which can be found at our Education Centre. ---------------------- 'Tension builds swiftly in this wrenching tale . . . poignant.'
