The Book Thief-B.R.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusack
       
                The Book Thief is a wonderfully woven story of a girl in 1939 Nazi Germany, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. After her brother dies, Liesel Meminger gets sent to live with foster parents, Rosa and Hans Hubermann, who live outside of Munich.
                
                 The country holds its breath, and death has never been busier.  Yet the Hubermanns find the courage to harbour a Jew in their basement. Liesel finds herself stealing books from Nazi book burnings, the mayor's library, anywhere books can be found. With the help of her foster father Hans, Liesel slowly learns to read in a world where books are extremely rare.
               
                 Beautifully written, The Book Thief is a life-changing book of love, loss, tragedy, and kindness. Markus Zusack blends fiction with reality to make a truly incredible book. I would recommend this to any reader, regardless of age or genre interest.
