The Book Thief

Book • 1998
Set in Nazi Germany from 1939 to 1943, 'The Book Thief' follows the life of Liesel Meminger, a nine-year-old girl who is sent to live with foster parents, Hans and Rosa Hubermann, after her brother dies and her mother is forced to give her up due to the dangers of the Nazi regime.

Liesel develops a deep love for books and words, stealing them from various sources, including Nazi book-burnings.

The story takes a dramatic turn when the Hubermanns hide a Jewish man, Max Vandenburg, in their basement.

Narrated by Death, the novel explores themes of war, loss, friendship, and the human spirit, providing a unique and powerful perspective on life during World War II.
