Synopsis (from Wikipedia)
Narrated by Death, the book is set in Nazi Germany, a place and time when the narrator notes he was extremely busy. It describes a young girl's relationship with her foster parents, the other residents of their neighborhood, and a Jewish fist-fighter who hides in her home during the escalation of World War II.
Rating 5/5 Stars
Review (from my Goodreads)
Amazing book! So well-written and just so touching. I honestly felt like I was there with Liesel through everything. The history component was great yet tragic. I definitely cried in the last quarter of the book!
I might use this as a novel study for my students next year...
