By her brother’s graveside, Liesel Meminger finds her life changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Grave Digger’s Handbook, left there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordion playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor’s wife’s library wherever there are books to be found.
But these are dangerous times. When Liesel’s foster family hides a Jewish man in their basement, Liesel’s world is both opened up and closed down.

I have read the book in German and loved it. Usually I read books only once. But when I finished, I wanted to start again, so I can longer experience Liesel’s life.
Came with me to work today.
Happy reading!
