Zusak, Markus. The Book Thief. New York , NY
Death himself narrates this compelling character book set in war-torn Nazi Germany. The story focuses on a plucky German girl, Liesel, but the author fleshes out many memorable characters such as her best friend Rudy, who defies the Hitler Youth movement, and Max, an artist and Jewish refugee. Tragic but at the same time hard to put down, I highly recommend this book as an alternative to standard Nazi fare. The Book Thief won numerous awards including the Michael L. Printz Award in 2007 and was on the New York Times Bestseller list for 190 weeks. If you like this book, which I’m sure you will , try Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book.New York , NY
