Markus Zusak's groundbreaking novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a young girl living outside of Munich in Nazi Germany. Liesel is scratching out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she discovers something she can't resist —- books. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever they are to be found. Liesel shares her books with her neighbors during bombing raids, as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. Award-winning author Markus Zusak has crafted an unforgettable novel about the ability of books to feed the soul.

Work Description
The extraordinary, beloved novel about the ability of books to feed the soul even in the darkest of times.
When Death has a story to tell, you listen.
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.
“The kind of book that can be life-changing.” —The New York Times
Excerpts
