What is I Am David about?

David has spent his whole life imprisoned in a concentration camp, knowing nothing of the world beyond its fences. When a guard helps him escape, he begins a dangerous journey across Europe with only a compass, some food and instructions to reach Denmark. As he travels through unfamiliar landscapes, David discovers colours, kindness, friendship and freedom for the first time. But he is still being hunted, and must learn quickly whom he can trust and how to survive alone.
