The boy at the top of the mountain

The main characters in the book were Pierrot, Beatrix, Ernst and Hitler.  Pierrot's parents died when he was seven and so he is sent to an orphanage.  A letter arrives and it is addressed to him.  It is from his  aunt Beatrix and she invites him to come and stay with her.  She worked as a housemaid in a house at the top of a mountain called the Obersalzberg.  She worked as a housemaid in Hitler's house and Pierrot and Hitler form a bond.  Hitler sees Pierrot almost as a son and Pierrot changes.  

He only cares about two things pleasing Hitler and the future of the fatherland, Germany.  The character who I liked in the book was a girl called Katarina.  Katarina was a girl in Pierrot's school in Germany.  I liked her because all her views were her own and she knew that what Hitler was doing was wrong.  Pierrot liked her, however she didn't like him that much anymore.  She had noticed that Pierrot had changed and was becoming more and more like Hitler.
