Markus Zusak's unique narrator tells us the emotional story of foster child Liesel Meminger and her experiences during 1939, Nazi Germany.
“It’s a small story really, about, among other things:
* A girl
* Some words
* An accordionist
* Some fanatical Germans
* A Jewish fist fighter
* And quite a lot of thievery”
(Markus Zusak, The Book Thief)
