When Death has a story to tell, you listen...
When 9 year old Liesel Meminger loses both her brother and mom in 1939, she goes to Nazi Germany in Himmel street, in the town of Molching. Liesel never knew her father, so when she is placed in foster care, she tries not to think of her lost family. In Molching, Liesel makes her share of friends and enemies, as well as building up her crimes as the Book Thief with her best friend and next door neighbor, Rudy. As Liesel grows up, the book continues to be told by the mysterious narrator who takes us through Liesel's life in Nazi Germany, as The Book Theif.
This is a great book, and I loved it so much, even though at first I was like, " Nooooooo, I got this book!", my heart was stolen by the Book Thief, just as will yours.
