The book Thief # 3

In Nazi Germany a young girl named Liesel Meminger meets death himself, who is also our narrator, though not for Death’s usual reason. What with WWII, Death is pretty busy, and needs all the distraction he can get his hands on. Liesel Meminger, the girl who became a book thief at age nine when she stole a book from her brother’s gravesite, is just such a distraction. Liesel’s first stolen book begins a life-altering relationship with reading and words.
