Klappentext:
Now is the third shocking, funny and heartbreaking book in Morris Gleitzman's Second World War series.
Sometimes facing the past is the bravest act of all...
ONCE
I didn't know about my grandfather Felix's scary childhood.
THEN
I found out what the Nazis did to his best friend Zelda.
NOW
I understand why Felix does the things he does.
At least he's got me. My name is Zelda too. This is our story.
Now is the third in a series of children's novels about Felix, a Jewish orphan caught in the middle of the Holocaust, from Australian author Morris Gleitzman - author of Bumface and Two Weeks with the Queen. The other books in the series, Once, Then and After are also available from Puffin.
Rezension:
