The Boy at the Top of the Mountain
John Boyne - Corgi - NZ$21
The Boy at
the Top of the Mountain is a powerful, moving story offering a unique perspective. This
gripping new novel is a return for John to the period and themes that made The
Boy in the Striped Pyjamas such an enormous success — telling the story of
a child swept up in the horror and confusion of war, but always with the most
sensitive and hopeful of touches.
Over 7 million
copies of John Boyne’s books have sold worldwide, including the international
bestseller The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, which was turned into a major
film and will be adapted for the stage in early 2015.
