The Boy at the Top of the Maountain

I am reading The Boy at the Top of the Mountain by John Boyne. It is the second book in the series of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and is about a little boy named Pierrot that has to find his way through his life at seven years old without his parents. He becomes an orphan after both his parents died, then he gets a letter from his aunt that he has never met before saying that she wants to take him. When he gets there his aunt starts changing him and his whole personality.

I have a connection to this book that doesn't really have to do with me, but that has to do with a family member. My family member was put into foster care when he was younger, I know that he wasn't and orphan, but he was put into foster care to be looked after until he got adopted just like Pierrot was put into an orphanage until he got adopted. He finally got adopted and was happier than can be, but had so many questions once he got out of  the foster care program. Just like when Pierrot got out of the orphanage, but once he got out he had wondered what kind of place he was  going to and what type of people he was going to live with.

I was very confused as to where this story was going at first, but right away this book drew me in and was very interesting from the start. It made me think of the Ann Frank diaries and how they both had to do with a war that happened in history. I really like how this story gets a little interesting and makes you wonder what is going to happen next. I recommend this book to anyone that like historical fiction or to anyone that likes books related to the holocaust.
