The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Title: The Book Thief
Author: Markus Zusak
Blurb: Here is a small fact: You are going to die.

1939. Nazi Germany.  The country is holding its breath. Death has never been so busy.

Liesel, a nine-year-old girl, is living with a foster family on Himmel Street. Her parents have been taken away to a concentration camp. Liesel steals books. This is her story and the story of the inhabitants of her street when the bombs begin to fall.

Some important information: This novel is narrated by death.

It's a small story, about:

  • a girl
  • an accordionist
  • some fanatical Germans
  • a Jewish fist fighter
  • and quite a lot of thievery.

Another thing you should know: Death will visit the book thief three times.
