I made a little change on this article because this is not the first Holocaust novel written for children. Not sure what the first was, but I know Carol Matas has written a few, including Turned Away.Bjones 13:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- Well, according to the Post link, "It is Boyne’s first children’s book, and the first novel written specifically for children about the Holocaust" so I'm not sure either. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 17:42, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- I would guess at a research slip in writing the Post article. It is rare, but not a first as far as I can tell.Bjones 00:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
- That's ridiculous; here's a bibliography that lists 23 children's fiction books on this topic! --Orange Mike 14:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not for kids
It's a really good, moving book. But it's not for children at all! I wouldn't say so: and neither does in blurb on the inside. 84.70.192.95 15:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Well, apparently about half the reviewers think it is a children's book, and some of them praise it as such.--Orange Mike 00:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
