Death narrates this story of Liesel Meminger’s young life as she ekes out an existence in World War II Germany. Liesel’s foster father teaches her to read and write, and she shares this gift with both her neighbors and a Jewish man she helps to hide in the basement. Her sorrowful life is punctuated with the sweetness of a first love and her love for stealing what she cannot resist: books. –from the back cover
