The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was a really good book. It's about two young boys named Bruno and Shmeul. Shmeul lives in a concentration camp and is Jewish, but Bruno lives in a house by the concentration camp. Bruno and Shmeul start talking and find out they have the same birthday. They find out that they actually have a lot of things in common. This leads to a really important and unexpected friendship with an extremely sad ending.
