1 The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
The Book Thief is the story of Liesel Memminger, a girl growing up with foster parents in Nazi Germany. As she navigates the chaos of World War II, she stumbles upon a new love — books. With the help of her father, she learns how to read in her small basement, and eventually begins to share her stories with the Jewish man her family hides in their basement and her neighbours during bombing attacks in her neighbourhood. Liesel starts off as a headstrong, determined nine-year-old, but The Book Thief ends with a fifteen-year-old girl who cares deeply about the people around her and about staying true to her beliefs in the middle of truly frightening times. Liesel shows us all that courage and optimism go a long way, no matter how dangerous things are.
