 When his father is appointed commandant of “Out-with” by “The Fury,” nine-year-old Bruno moves with his family to this new place.  Lonely, Bruno makes friends with a boy on the other side of the fence but does not understand why his friend is so sad and why everyone on the other side of the fence wears striped pajamas. And why is his friend so thin? And where is his family? Will Bruno ever learn the answers to these puzzling questions? (Lori Loranger, Librarian, Grisham M.S., Round Rock ISD, TX)
