Explanation:
The Book Thief is about a girl named Liesel who, after her brother dies, has to move in with a foster family. She begins stealing books because she doesn’t have any of her own. She reads all the time, and it brings her closer to the people around her—not just her foster family but also Max, a Jewish man who lives next door. It’s set during World War II in Nazi Germany, and it shows the struggles that people went through during that time period.
