Hard to believe this wholesome little book about a group of schoolboys was controversial enough to be burned by Nazis. The novel focuses on five boys, approximately 11 years old, at boarding school in a small town in Germany. It's almost Christmas, and the story follows them through putting on a school play, fighting with boys from a local town school, and reuniting a teacher with his long-lost friend. The boys come from a variety of backgrounds: one of them is too poor to afford the train fare home, while others seem relatively prosperous. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie with various school boy japes: it's very much a slice-of-life story. I mostly enjoyed it, though it has a somewhat moralising tone.
