 =__The Book Thief__ = ===By: Marcus Zusak  === === Reviewed by: Grace Leifur===

==This book takes place in Nazi, Germany during World War 2. The main characters in this book are, Liesel, Papa, and Mama. Liesel is 11 years old and she loves to read. Liesel has long black dirty hair, also most of the time she is un-kept. Something strange about Liesel is, she fell in love with reading when she went to the graveyard with her mom to visit her brothers grave. It may seem strange that she fell in love with reading because of a graveyard, but there is an explanation. After the gravediggers dug her brothers grave, they accidentally dropped the gravediggers handbook. It was an instruction manual to dig graves. Papa, Liesel’s foster father. He is old caring and has a big heart. Also he was the one who read the gravediggers handbook to Liesel. Some facts about Papa are, he loves to smoke and enjoys rolling cigarettes with Liesel. Mama is Liesels foster mother. She is very harsh and unforgiving, and she loves to swear at Liesel and Papa. The main conflict in this book is, trying to read in the time of book burnings. Plus the weight of keeping a VERY important secret that could cost her foster families lives. I would recommend this book for teens like 7th up till high school. I would recommend it because, it is one of those book that when you pick it up its hard to set down. Also it is intense but, not really scary. If you are an emotional person I don’t recommend this for you. -enjoy!==
