The extraordinary, beloved novel about the ability of books to feed the soul even in the darkest of times.
When Death has a story to tell, you listen.
It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
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.
Working together with a man who she learned had been deceiving her, and a mage who was once an enemy, she must put together the pieces of a puzzle that hold the answers to this dilemma. If they can't find a way to trust each other and work together, the world may freeze beyond recovery.
