Description: As written on the back of the book:
It is 1993. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been so busier, and will become busier still. By her brother's graveside, liesel meminger's life is changes when she picks up a singe object partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravediggers Handbook, left there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. SO begins a love affair with books and words, as leisel, 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 librarian, wherever there are books to bee found.
But these are dangerous times. WHen liesel's foster family hides a jew in their basement, leisel's world is both opened up and closed down.
