Then

Then starts in a forest where two young kids are battling for their lives. Zelda and Felix are Jews in the war against the Nazis. They have travelled a long way and in the first book, Once, Felix was in a home. He found a carrot in his soup, which triggered him to set off to find his parents. He finds Zelda on the way and helps her to understand why her parents were Nazis and why they died to save her.

The sequel, Then, is about how they are still running, trying to find a new home as well as a new family. They find Genia who gives them food and a home and a family. A best friend and pet dies, their new dad is missing, and their life is falling apart; but Felix does not give up.

I adore reading these books because of the certain feeling of hope they give off. If you're a person who loves adventures and the best happy moments, then this is the book you must read. Come on a journey filled with wonder and excitement while laying on your couch. If you read this insightful book then I guarantee you will never put it down. Mesmerising and wonderful.
