A bag of marbles book review.

One person found this helpful. This feels sketchy and fast easy to integrate the story with the photos but not quite as good as it could be as a well told story. The english translation of the title is bag of marbles which doesn t have the same ring but had to be kept because of the symbolism. Instead by following the journey of inseparable brothers joseph and maurice we see 1940s france through the innocent eyes of a child.

Apr 20 2017 jessica heck rated it it was amazing review of another edition i looooved this book. The story is regaining popularity now because a new film adaptation was released earlier this year. Then 1941 comes and the nazis have came to paris and taken over because of this you have had a huge chunk of your childhood taken from you. However the language and descriptive passages of the original presentation is preferable.

I hope that young readers will be introduced to this important book. Imagine it is 1940 and you live in paris france and you are a young boy who loves to play marbles with his friends. I hope that young readers will be introduced to this important book. This feels sketchy and fast easy to integrate the story with the photos but not quite as good as it could be as a well told story.

Ten year old joseph even looks a bit like tintin with his skinny frame and blond hair. For a brief portion of the war he spends his days eating pastries and watching the same movie over and over again.
