So the book starts of with the main character running. Running from police while stealing bread from the bakery. During the escape a red-headed, Jewish boy, called Uri pulled him to the side making the police lose the protagonist from their sight. The two boys greeted each other and shared his bread. After, Uri decided to introduce the other boy to his friends. That's how their friendship began. Uri came up with a fake story about the main characters past, because he did not remember his real one. According to the story, the protagonist is a gypsy named Misha Pilsudski (what by the was probably unbelievable, because the surname 'Pilsudski' came from one of the most known polish statesman and it was really rare), born in Russia and sharing 7 brothers and 5 sisters. Apparently he got lost and got to Warsaw, Poland where he is in this moment. The tie this novel is happening is around 1939 - 1940 (WWII).
In spring (I think) he met a Jewish girl named Janina and he quickly became friends with her. He spends a lot of time with her, as well as with his friends he met before in the stable.
I really enjoy the book. I think it will teach me much more about history.
