"Life-changing." --The New York 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.
In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning
author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of
the most enduring stories of our time.
"Deserves a place on the same shelf with The Diary of a Young Girl by
Anne Frank." --USA Today
DON'T MISS BRIDGE OF CLAY, MARKUS ZUSAK'S FIRST NOVEL SINCE THE
