While living in Nazi Germany, Liesel finds comfort in reading. But comfort doesn't last and times get rough, especially if you're hiding a Jewish man in your basement. This book leaves you emotionally heartbroken, but in a good way. -Maia As you can tell, I have been relentlessly reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - I even finished it more quickly than I usually finish books, due to the fact that I couldn't put it down. It is an amazing, captivating book, and it's unique in many ways. Narrated by death, the book is set in Germany during WW1, and it shows what it was like then, especially when hiding a jew in your basement. The perspective from which it is told (death) is intriguing and heart - wrenching. -Eva, age 12
