In this book we are warped forward in time to a modern Australia where the Jewish boy from books 1 & 2 is a grandfather of a girl named Zelda. I loved the first books although the writing style wasn't my favourite I still thoroughly enjoyed them. I still was not a fan of this writing style but it wasn't really bugging me. What bugged me was that the story was about a clueless young boy called Felix not his granddaughter! This book was really slow paced but it was also irrelevant to the whole plot of the last two books. Although it was nice seeing what the future had in store for Felix the book didn't tell me anything about the whole situation the two books prior to this one! I will be reading the rest of this series but I just personally didn't quite enjoy this book. This book is about a girl named Zelda and a man named Felix. Zelda has been given this name from Felix's best friend when he was hiding during the second world war. But Zelda feels like she has to be as good as the old Zelda and she is finding that really hard. When she starts to feel better about being the Zelda she is now a big fire comes towards them and is going to ruin their town. Her, Felix and their dog are trying to survive but things are easier said then done. I really liked this book because I found it really interesting and hard to put down. I liked that it was a slightly different story and how the book was ended. I really loved this book and I can't wait to read the last book in this series.
Such a wonderful set of books. Morris Gleitzman wrote fabulous books when he wrote these.
