AWARDED WITH THE BUXTEHUDER BULLEN 2017
NOMINATED FOR THE GERMAN YOUTH LITERATURE AWARD 2018 (Youth Jury)
With 'The Boy on the Hill', John Boyne returns to the darkest chapter in our history.
From the author of the worldwide success: 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'.
When Pierrot loses his parents, his aunt takes him to live with her in the German household where she is on duty. But this is no ordinary time: the Second World War is imminent. And it is no ordinary house: it is the Berghof - Adolf Hitler's summer residence.
The boy quickly comes under the direct influence of the charismatic leader. To prove his loyalty to him, he is ready for anything - even betrayal.
A red-hot book in times of a worldwide shift to the right.
"John Boyne tells a parable about seduction. It is valid for today." Cornelia Geißler, Berliner Zeitung
"In terms of language and content, John Boyne once again achieves the literary feat of writing his novel in such a way that it can be understood, especially by younger readers." Arndt Stroscher, Astrolibrium
"A most unusual book." The Best 7 Books for Young Readers, Stefanie Jentgens, Deutschlandfunk
"A book that is sure to polarize, but offers many occasions for discussion and is basically frighteningly topical despite its historical foil." Stiftung Lesen
