- Exposition
- I have to find my parents now.
- Rising Action
- You will be okay here.
- It is 1942 in Poland. Felix doesn't understand why so many people hate books so much. So much that he had to go to an orphanage to stay safe while his parents fled the city. Felix soon realises that there's more to it than the books.
- Climax
- The story takes place in German-occupied Europe during the Holocaust. Felix is a 10 year old boy in 1942 who flees the orphanage with the hope that he will find his parents. As Felix begins to realise the truth about what’s happening around him, he meets new friends and the man who will help to save his life.
- Falling Action
- Felix runs away from the orphanage. He meets Zelda when he rescues her after her parents have been killed and her house has been burned. The two children are rescued from a death march by a man named Barney, who hides them and other children in a basement.
- RESOLUTION
- When Felix returns from getting medicine for Zelda, he realises that the Nazis have discovered their hiding place. Barney and the children are taken and forced into train cars.
- While in the train car, Felix notices some rotten wood and kicks a hole in the train. Many people jump out, risking being injured or even shot for the chance of freedom.
- Felix and Zelda jump out and survive. What happens next is yet to come in another book written by Morris Gelitzman: Then.
