Embark on a poignant journey with Morris Gleitzman's acclaimed novel, Once, a compelling paperback edition published on February 23, 2006. This immersive story, part of the engaging Once/Now/Then/After series, unfolds across 160 pages, offering a profound reading experience suitable for ages nine and up. Published by Penguin Random House Children's UK under the Puffin imprint, this book delves into the heart-wrenching narrative of a young Jewish boy living in occupied Poland during the Second World War. Driven by an unwavering determination, he resolves to escape the orphanage where he resides, spurred by the desperate hope of rescuing his parents from the brutal grip of the Nazis. The narrative powerfully captures the resilience of the human spirit amidst unimaginable hardship, exploring themes of courage, love, and the enduring search for hope. The striking cover art visually complements this theme, depicting a solitary figure silhouetted against a backdrop of railway tracks and the symbolic outline of a Star of David, with the poignant message "Everybody deserves to have something good in their life. At least Once." This edition, carrying the ISBN13/EAN/SKU 9780141320632, is a testament to Gleitzman's masterful storytelling, drawing readers into a historical period filled with both terror and unwavering bravery. It is a story that resonates deeply, reminding us of the importance of family and the strength found in the most challenging circumstances. The book's thoughtful portrayal of the era and the protagonist's bravery makes it a valuable addition to any reader's collection, offering both a historical perspective and an emotionally resonant tale of survival and hope.
