When Death tells a story, you listen.
It is 1939 in Nazi Germany, and nine-year-old Liesel Meminger is sent to live with a foster family outside Munich. Although she cannot yet read, Liesel becomes fascinated by books—and soon begins stealing them wherever she can find them.
With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, Liesel learns to read and discovers the extraordinary power of words. She shares her stolen stories with her neighbors during bombing raids and with the Jewish man her foster family is secretly hiding in their basement. Narrated by Death, The Book Thief is an unforgettable story of courage, friendship, loss, and humanity during one of history’s darkest periods.
