Once by Morris Gleitzman is the story of a young Jewish boy who is determined to escape the orphanage he lives in to save his Jewish parents from the Nazis in the occupied Poland of the Second World War.

Everybody deserves to have something good in their life. At least Once.

Once I escaped from am orphanage to find Mum and Dad.

Once I saved a girl called Zelda from a burning house.

Once I made a Nazi with a toothache laugh.

My name is Felix. This is my story.

Once is the first 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 Boy Overboard. The next books in the series Then, Now and After are also available from Puffin.

Excerpts

Felix is waiting for his parents to arrive to the Catholic School, but surprisingly, they don't. This then leads us to knowing that Felix is Catholic in his school, but back at home, he is Jewish. This may mean that his parents bring him to a Catholic School so that the Nazis think he is not Jewish.
Page 9, added by Hadia Jabarkhill.

If his parents aren't going to come back to collect him, they may be in danger. And Felix thinks that Adolf Hitler is good, so he may not know that the Nazis may shoot them. Throughout this chapter, Felix calls the Nazis polite because they think that they are showing him tricks with the gun but in reality, they are attempting to shoot him.
