![]() ![]() This was the final session of Reading Matters 2013, but it ended with a bang. Unleashing YA – Gayle Forman, Morris Gleitzman and Keith Gray on adult encroachment in YA What are your thoughts on the series? Have you read them? I can’t wait to read Soon to find out what happens to Felix next! Soon continues the incredibly moving story of Felix, a Jewish boy still struggling to survive in the wake of the liberation of Poland after the end of World War Two. The next book in the sequence is Soon, coming this month from Penguin Random House. That means we still have 3 books to look forward to about Felix. ![]() Morris told us that he’s not ready to let Felix go yet (which I can totally understand) and that he has 7 books planned in this sequence. I heard Morris Gleitzman talk at the Auckland Writers Festival about Felix and his story. I wrote a post back in 2013 about the books that hold a special place in my heart and these books certainly do. His story is heartbreaking and harrowing and Morris Gleitzman really tugs on your heartstrings. If you haven’t read this brilliant series yet (you really should) it’s about Felix, a boy growing up in Poland during World War Two. As soon as I started reading Felix’s story I felt like he was my best friend and I wanted everything to work out for him. Morris Gleitzman’s Once, and the sequels Then, Now and After, are some of my favourite books. ![]()
