Bruno, the son of a concentration camp commandant, becomes friends with Shmuel, who lives behind the camp fence. The boy is interested in the life of a friend, he likes the striped clothes in which he walks. One day Bruno dresses as Shmuel and infiltrates the camp.
The book received positive and negative reviews. One of the reasons for the harsh criticism was fictional facts and misleading young readers about the easy perception of the horrors of the Holocaust.
According to the book "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" in 2008, director Mark Herman shoots the film of the same name, in which Asa Butterfield, Vera Farmiga, Kara Horgan and others starred.
After the release of the novel about Bruno and Shmuel, John Boyne gained the status of a children's writer.

In 2018, the writer released another novel, A Ladder to the Sky, in which the young writer Maurice becomes the main character. After meeting the famous homosexual author Erich Ackermann, he enters the high society of writing and begins to punch his way to fame and money.

The novel by the Irish master My Brother's Name is Jessica, which the readers got to know, caused controversy. It tells the story of a transgender person.

The writer was very worried about what had happened, and even working with books did not please him. Boyne took a handful of pills one night, but half an hour later went to the ambulance. John admitted that he called his former lover, but he never came to the hospital.
