The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak, is an amazing journey of survival and courage. A work of historical fiction uniquely told through the eyes of Death, it’s the story of a young German girl named Liesel Meminger who discovers the power of words by stealing books. Set in Nazi Germany during World War II, The Book Thief is filled with stories about goodness, friendship, destruction, and compassion. You won’t be able to put it down! Recommended for seventh graders and older.
The best word shakers were the ones who understood the true power of words. They were the ones who could climb the highest. One such word shaker was a small, skinny girl. She was renowned as the best word shaker of her region because she knew how powerless a person could be without words (Zusak, 446).
