As with many historical books, part of the real power of this story is in the subtly-included detail of the everyday lives of the characters and readers will find it very easy to empathise with all of them.John Boyne: I grew to care very deeply for the lost boys whose spirits I aimed to recreate on the page. Readers' impressions on this book will largely vary based on their feelings toward our main character, Alfie.

As with all of his previous books for children John Boyne also manages to imbue this one with subtle humour, although he never makes light of the seriousness of the book's main themes. In common with most of the heroes of my books for younger readers, Alfie Summerfield in Stay is honest, good-hearted, optimistic and a passionate reader. Stay Where You Are and Then Leave is one of the first novels for young people to be published ahead of the centenary, written by John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Bewildered and confused, Alfie realises his father is in a hospital close by – a hospital treating soldiers with an unusual condition. I've always liked children's books where the main protagonist, like David Copperfield, has to become the hero of his own story, solving whatever problems are presented through his own ingenuity rather than relying on the assistance of grown-ups.Quedense en la trinchera y luego corran de John Bonyne es una novela súper conmovedora y llena de reflexiones.
