Publishers Description: It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. By her brothers graveside, Liesels life is changed when she picks up an object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravediggers Handbook, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayors wifes library, wherever there are books to be found. But these are dangerous times. When Liesels foster family hides a Jewish fist-fighter in their basement, Liesels world is both opened up, and closed down. Award-winning author Markus Zusak has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time. Industry Reviews "Brilliant and hugely ambitious...the kind of book that can be life-changing" New York Times "An original, moving, beautifully written book" The Age
