This book tells the story of Liesel, a nine-year-old girl, who is living with a foster family on Himmel Street. Her parents have been taken away to a concentration camp. Liesel steals books. This book is a story of: a girl; an accordionist; some fanatical Germans; a Jewish fist fighter; and quite a lot of thievery. The story line was unique, narrated by ‘death’ and the ending was quite devastating. The book still haunts me but it provided me with a perspective of war from the other side.

I was dreading this book, thought it would be awful. It wasn't. I didn't love it, but it was so much better than I thought it would be!
