Thoughts: I did not have the opportunity to read this book while growing up, but I'm glad I have had the chance to read it now. This book is heartbreaking and truly captures the innocence of children. It is a quick and short read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

 Synopsis: Once by Morris Gleitzman is the story of a young Jewish boy who is determined to escape the orphanage he lives in to save his Jewish parents from the Nazis in the occupied Poland of the Second World War. Everybody deserves to have something good in their life. At least Once.
