This book, though not bringing an onion cry, succeeded in making my eyes watery. That's Gleitzman for you. I had an idea what she was thinking. Something like, oh no, he’s finally lost it. He thinks he can replace a ten year old character with an eighty year old one and readers won’t get upset and throw books at him in libraries.

The books have even been named in the prestigious Sydney Taylor Honor Books for Teen Readers. This series really is amazing… Gleitzman is looking at the Holocaust from a child’s perspective, and it’s made all the more horrifying and heartbreaking for Felix and Zelda’s naiveté and innocence. At the same time, though, Zelda also feels she must deal with her grandfather’s sadness. To cheer him up, she plans a surprise birthday picnic tea for him, attaching hundreds of thank you notes from patients to a tree, and lighting some candles, despite the no fire ban. The entire state of Victoria, Australia was a tinder box because of an intense heatwave. So naturally, when Josh, a boy in her class and the asthmatic brother of her main tormentor, shows up Zelda accidentally sets the letters on fire, when she pushes him away. But later when she hears the bush fires that are raging nearby, Zelda is afraid that she has caused them with the burning thank-yous. Elvis says something about how he wishes he was eighty so he could retire. I sympathise, but I’m not completely listening. At last I’m holding Felix’s present and I can’t wait to give it to him. I can’t wait for his big grin when he sees what it is.
