This is a moving story about a young Jewish boy named David who manages to escape a concentration camp during World War II. The only life he knows is life in prison; he knows nothing of the outside world, except from stories told by elders. All he knows is he has to keep moving to find his new life. Throughout the novel David experiences things for the first time taking nothing for granted. He tries to learn as much as he can while still avoiding detection by Germans knowing "they" could find him any minute. By the end of his journey he has discovered his identity and more about life, culture, and his beliefs. I highly recommend this book to anyone in need of a lift because it is a story of hope and innocence in a time when there was so much hatred and fear.
