Once

Once by Morris Gleitzman

Felix isn't sure why the soldiers in 1942 Poland are rounding up Jewish booksellers, including his parents, or why he is hiding in an orphanage pretending to be a Catholic, but he knows something is seriously wrong. When he decides to head out to warn his parents of the danger he is sure is coming, he finds himself in the heart of Nazi-occupied Poland. To help him survive, Felix makes up stories, but eventually he is confronted with things that he can't even make up stories to explain.

The story of Felix and his friend Zelda continues in Then and concludes in Now.
