I've just meant one of my favorite characters in this book! His name is Alfie, which fits him perfectly. (Warning, possible spoilers from here on out)

He's such a dear boy. Well, okay, he's actually a teenager, but he has the mind of little boy. Which is why the Germans wish to kill him, but thankfully he escapes.

He's just so endearing, so charming and innocent in a world full of violence. He's just trying to understand the world he lives in. But I'm not sure I want him to understand it.

It's his innocence that actually ends up saving him from the Germans. It's like they're too smart to really understand him!

Course, I say this mid-way through the book... Nothing had better happen to him. If it does I'll just... 😭
