A World War II Historical Masterpiece Narrated by Death, Stolen Books, and Hidden Refugees
Set in Nazi Germany in the fictional town of Molching during World War II, nine-year-old orphan Liesel Meminger is sent to live with foster parents Hans and Rosa Hubermann on Himmel Street. Hans teaches Liesel to read using her first stolen book, The Grave Digger's Handbook, stolen from her brother's burial site.
As Allied bombing raids escalate, the Hubermanns risk execution by secretly sheltering Max Vandenburg, a Jewish fistfighter, in their basement. Liesel steals books from Nazi bonfires and the town mayor's library, sharing stories to give hope to her community.
