The Book Thief
by: Markus Zusak
This book caught the hearts of millions of book-lovers in the country. In this book( I forgot how we were suppose to write this), a young girl named Liesel Meminger was sent to a foster family after losing her brother and her mother. Her new foster parents, Rosa and Hans Hubermann, have greeted her with kindness since she came to 33 Himmel Street. Now, she has been stealing books from burning piles of knowledge wrapped in a leathery paper cover. This story is narrated by Death(yes, I know this sounds weird). Soon after she was stealing books to quench her thirst for words, Max Vandenburg, a Jewish fist fighter, was sent to the residents of 33 Himmel Street. Max was living in their basement for the past 14 months and has not seen the outside world, only once but that was when the air raid had happened. I would say more but it would be too long! At the end, the Germans lost, Max was set free and Liesel died, but before her soul was taken away by death himself, they walked along the side walk in Australia(yes I know it's an amazing site their) and gave Liesel her black book that she was given by the mayors wife. After that, the death of millions of people tasted just like cherries. Note: What I said at the end was my quote, not death's quote
