Case study - A moving tale for all

12 Feb 2007

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne is a story about a nine-year-old boy trying to understand what is happening around him in Auschwitz during World War II. It was the perfect choice for a whole-school reading project at Loreto College, as it is one of those very rare books that can be read by different age groups.
