The Book Thief
By: Markus Zusak
 |
| Zusak, M. (2006). The book thief. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. Summary and Response: Liesel is an orphan living in Hitlers birth place. She learns to read during this time and even helps a neighbor appreciate books. Liesel acquires her books by stealing them from the Mayor. Narrated by Death himself this is a great novel to use when teaching about the concept of voice and personification. Just when you think you have read everything dealing with WWII and the Holocaust; along comes this book. It leaves you feeling hopeful but also sick to your stomach at the thought of how much had to be hidden during that time. |
