The Book Thief

'Liesel Meminger is adopted by a German couple in 1938 when

her mother can’t look after her. She settles into her new life in

Berlin. She learns to read and makes friends with Rudi, the boy

next door. But Nazi ideology begins affecting life around her.

Hitler’s portrait hangs in her school. One night, all of the shops

run by Jews have their windows smashed and people are being

taken away. Liesel is taken to a book burning, and begins to

understand what the Nazis believe in. Then one day, Max arrives.

He is a Jew and he is in danger.'
