Five-star review of Soon by Morris Gleitzman
Felix is older and less
naïve than in the earlier books in this series, but he still doesn’t quite know
how to read people or situations, which often makes him charming in the midst
of terrible actions by some people and keeps his voice fresh. In this fifth
book in the series, WWII has ended, and the Nazis are defeated. Still, life is
difficult, even dangerous. The people Felix meets many people in this story, a
few more important in his life than others. He also ‘adopts’ a baby and tries
to take it to Ukraine, since he believes the baby is Ukrainian. The entire
series should be required reading for preteens, because they present an awful
part of human history in terms kids can comprehend.
