The book I am reading is entitled “Once”.
Once is a very heartfelt and imaginative story that will touch the readers heart. There is a series of this book, they are ordered like so, Once, Then, Now, and After.
The book Once is about a boy named Felix who finds himself carrying on a journey to find his parents. Obviously as he goes on he ages and becomes more mature towards life. On his journey he finds a young girl, Zelda.
She is a six year old who is shy at first but then as she gets to know Felix she becomes more outgoing and responsible. After years you would find that they are like brother and sister.
Felix’s personality is strong, imaginative and caring. When he finds Zelda he finds that her parents are dead and that he now has the responsibility of a young child’s life. He must protect her from danger but also teach her to protect herself. Zelda is a girl who has great fear of Nazi’s. Nazi’s are men and sometimes women who hate Jewish people and go around making them slaves and torturing them until they have no point to live.
The only way I think I could make a connection to this book is that Felix the main character is a boy with great interest in writing stories as am I.
My predictions will be pretty easy because I have read this book before.
My predictions are that Zelda and Felix will meet other children that Felix would also have responsibility of because he is the oldest. They are all close friends who risk their lives for each other.
