About the Novel:
The Book Thief highlights the power of words and stories to provide hope and connection amidst suffering and war. The story is narrated by the figure of Death and follows Liesel during Nazi Germany and World War 2. After her brother dies on the journey to her new foster home, Liesel begins a difficult new life with Hans and Rosa Hubermann. Hans secretly shelters Max—a Jewish man hiding from the Nazis—putting the family in danger. As Liesel learns to read, she develops a strong friendship with Max through stories and books. She also becomes friends with Rudy and begins stealing books. Throughout the war, Death observes Liesel and those around her, witnessing both the kindness and cruelty of humanity.
