Published: 2005
The Book Thief, which was listed on The New York Times Best Seller List for over 230 weeks, tells the story of Liesel Meminger, a nine-year-old girl living in Germany during World War II, and her relationship with words.
In a time of material deprivation and destructive surroundings, Liesel discovers something she thinks more precious than food - books. Mesmerized by the power of language and sharing the written word, Liezel begins to steal books that the Nazi party is looking to destroy. What's more, she begins writing her own stories to spread the power of language. Among the ammunition flying by and innocent lives lost, the little girl brings light and hope to her neighbors in shelters and Jews in basements through reading.
