Well this was all fantastical and adorable!I knew that it would be good because John Boyne is the author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (WHICH IS THE SINGLE MOST DEPRESSING THING YOU WILL EVER READ. DO NOT APPROACH IT), but I wasn't expecting to be swept away by the story and characters as quickly as I was. This, without the twisty twist at the end, would still be a fantastic book about sadness and hardships but with a little whimsy thrown in, BUT THEN THERE WAS THE TWISTY TWIST and it justNoah Barleywater Runs Away by John Boyne is a magical work of art. What appears superficially to be just another juvenile adventure book, is, in truth, the most beautiful and deeply touching fairy tale I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Noah is an extremely vulnerable and bright young boy, who, at the age of 8, have decided to escape from his home and his parents, in hope of experiencing some great, life-changing adventures. Or, should I say, this is what Noah convinces himself to
*3.5John Boyne is a great author. I definitely enjoyed this book despite being older than the actual target group. Some bits appeared quite slow to me, but the ending was absolutely stunning and made me glad to have picked up this book.

To escape from his fears, Noah decides to run away and have some adventures. After all, he is already 8 and has
Noah Barleywater Runs Away by John Boyne is a book that fits under many genres. Ultimately i would place it under Children/Middle-grade Fiction, but it can also fall under Fantasy and Fairy Tale. I picked it up from a booksale and when i posted a photo of it on instagram, somebody commented and said that they really wanted to read the book because somebody whom they looked up to told them that it was their favourite book. Knowing that, i had to find out why. And i did. I loved the overall story
Noah Barleywater Runs Away is a beautifully crafted modern fairytale which both children and adults alike will adore. Brilliantly bizzare from the very first page, John Boyne's latest children's book tells the story of Noah Barleywater, an eight-year-old boy who sets off to see the world with the intention of leaving all his cares and worries behind. He quickly becomes swept up in a strange, magical adventure, but upon meeting a very special toymaker he learns an important lesson in dealing with
i have never read A Boy In The Striped Pyjamas (I know, I know, I hate myself too)so i began this book not knowing how i would like Boyne's writing style. All i can say is , I'm in love.We start with Noah Barleywater , he's currently running away from home, he's soon drawn to a rickety, odd looking toy shop where he meets an old toymaker. They share stories together about being young and growing up.One thing I noticed while reading this , is that the detail of the toy shop is beautiful, you
