Plot
Oz's reminiscent novel describes the doings of a twelve-year-old boy in 1947, the last year of the British Mandate of Palestine, during the British–Zionist conflict. Young Proffy has organized a pro-Israel underground cell that proposes to blow up Buckingham Palace or perhaps 10 Downing Street. These heroic dreams are no danger to anybody, but Proffy's friendship with a kindly British soldier causes his two fellow panthers to accuse him of treason.
Film
The film The Little Traitor (2007), starring Alfred Molina, is based on the book.

gollark: Do they *want* to encourage piracy?
gollark: I see.
gollark: That's pretty evil of them if accurate.
gollark: It saddens me that DRM stuff makes it so hard to go around just backupping your stuff so it's not confined to one medium/platform.
