The Book Thief by Markus Zusak


"It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who 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."  - This description is from GoodReads

The Book Thief, a best selling book by Markus Zusak, is now a movie. The book was fabulous and the movie trailer looks great!
