But Felix is an outsider and must prove himself - by stealing a gun from a Nazi. They manage to save the horse and find their way to the partisan camp, asking to permanently join. When it is all over, Felix is allowed to go home with Gabriek, but when they get there, the farm is on fire, set by the Nazis. With their guns pointed and ready to shoot, Felix gives himself up to save Gabriek - only they aren't Nazis, they're partisans and Gabriek is one of them and they have just sabotaged a Nazi train. Afraid they are going to kill Gabriek, Felix tries to rescue him by yelling at his captors. Confused and scared, Felix decides to follow them when they head off to the forest with Gabriek.

Nazis? But they are speaking Polish and are not wearing uniforms and there is a lady wearing a red scarf with them. On the night of his 13th birthday, Felix hears Gabriek talking to some men with guns. The hidey hole is right under the hooves of Gabriek's horse Dom. After returns to the war, where it is 1945 and Felix has been hiding for two years in a hidey hole in Gabriek's barn, emerging once a night to eat and excercise. What happened to Felix in the last two years of the war? Where and how did Felix spend them? Well, we know that he spent time helping partisans with his friend Gabriek. But wait, Now ended in the middle of the war. But this is the story of 80 year old Felix and his granddaughter Zelda, 10.

When I finished reading that second book, I still wanted to know more and so along came book three, called Now. And so, Morris Gleitzman gave us Then, which did indeed continue the story of Felix and Zelda.
