The Book Thief by Markus Zusack 
Set during World War II in Germany, 
Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new
 novel is the story of Liesel Meminger,
 a foster girl living outside of Munich. 
Liesel 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 before he is marched to Dachau.
