"Pat Barker meets Michelle Magorian . . . Comic as well as poignantly enlightening" (Independent on Sunday)
"John Boyne’s children’s novels tackle difficult subjects . . . and this latest book looks at the horrors of trench warfare in World War 1. With the anniversary of that war next year, this is a timely examination of moral, physical and mental bravery and pain" (Daily Mail)
"Beautifully paced and affecting" (The Bookseller)
"Stay Where You Are and Then Leave is beautifully written, as are all John Boyne's books for children. Although it's a book aimed primarily at younger readers, it's equally as satisfying for adults, and should be widely read by everyone" (Wondrous Reads)
"A beautifully paced and affecting tale" (Independent on Sunday)
John Boyne was born in Ireland in 1971. He is the author of ten novels for adults, five for young readers and a collection of short stories. Perhaps best known for his 2006 multi-award-winning book The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, John’s other novels, notably The Absolutist and A History of Loneliness, have been widely praised and are international bestsellers. In 2015, John chaired the panel for the Giller Prize, Canada’s most prestigious literary award. The Heart’s Invisible Furies is his most ambitious novel yet.

Charming. Some readers say this is a YA book; others consign it to a younger age group - but not too young, because of delicate sensibilities regarding the horrors of war; I say it's for YK (Young Kids), YA (Young Adults), and OA (Old Adults). As an OOA (Old, Old Adult), I found the book mesmerizing - a tender story with lots of positive human interactions (but also featuring some dark aspects of human relations), and a relatively positive ending. In fact, the novel could pass as an adult fairy tale. Lots of implausible coincidences, but in the long run important lessons to be learned about human behavior, with an ending that inspires hope for the future.
Alfie - 5 in 1914; 9 in 1918; 13 in 1922 - is both extraordinarily na?ve and unnaturally sophisticated, at all three of these ages. Both characteristics are developed in highly positive ways. He is a very nice guy, in everything he does. This is so refreshing, considering the bad behavior of many fictional protagonists. I kept wishing there were more children just like Alfie.
While Alfie's story is the main thread running through the entire book, the author also gives major consideration to father-son relations (Georgie, his father, is well drawn), and to an aspect of war often neglected in World War I treatments, i.e., shell shock, or what we now call PTSD. So many books about WW I emphasize the horrific loss of life, on both sides, that dragged on for more than four years without any notable gain for either side. But Boyne highlights the equally tragic circumstance of those who managed to live through the carnage but were nevertheless permanently damaged psychologically.
Boyne also gives attention to life in England during WW I, by describing both general conditions on the home front and the activities of individuals - both the good guys and the not-so-good guys. In a relatively short book, he convincingly covers an amazing range of topics and scenarios. Of course I'm an avid Boyne fan, and "Stay Where You Are and Then Leave" convinces me that I should read everything he writes, whether it's theoretically for the YA set, or for YK or OA readers. 4-1/2 stars.
I really liked Stay Where You Are and Then Leave by John Boyne. This book has the same feel as J Boyne's other book - The Boy In The Striped Pajamas. I liked the character development - especially Alfie. Alfie is a little boy you like and want life to turn out okay for him. I liked the neighborhood and J Boyne did an excellent job of revealing the neighbors. I especially liked Joe Patience. I don't know what age this is intended for, but it would be good for jr & high school students.
I would recommend Stay Where You Are and Then Leave.
I had read The Boy in Stripped Pajamas and enjoyed it a great deal. I did not know what to expect with this book but was drawn into the story as soon as I started to read. It provides a look into the first world war that is seldom provided to us...the perspective of a child. John Boyne has a wonderful ability to pull the reader into the story an make one feel that they are there. I have cried, more than once, reading his works!
This book is excellent, I was completely hooked from the first paragraph to the last. It is simple, but not easy, I was impressed yet again how well Boyne is able to convey so much [grief/sadness/loss/etc] about the reality of war using such beautiful language. The diverse characters help tell the many stories of people in war, yet it was seamless woven into a single story supporting Alfie's story. In spite of my overloaded bookcases, this is one for my own collection.
It was a okay book I had to read it for a summer report but it drags on in the middle and began but it was good at the end you just have to have the right taste for it but it wasn't really the best book for me
