'I am David' is the story of a boy travelling through Europe in the hopes of finding a new home for himself. He has lived his whole life in a concentration camp, and now that he has escaped he needs to learn about all the big things in life - what does it mean to be 'good' or 'evil', who is God, and who is he, David? These are big questions to answer, but the author does a splendid job of keeping the reader engaged in David's journey, telling us what he is thinking, what is going on around him, and building the tension and sense of mystery as the story unravels itself. I first heard this book as an 11 year old, and cannot recommend it enough.
