The Book Thief (Anniversary Edition)

FROM SARAH:

An astonishingly good book. I don't like it much for a read-aloud as the narrator is Death, and it feels a little off to me to have mama's voice in that character. The audiobook is wonderfully done! Best for teens.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
