Review by Sofie
Who would like this book? People who are interested in Germany and action.
Why? Liesel is nine when her brother dies and her mother becomes too sick to take care of her. At first she is frightened when she goes to live with a foster family, but she soon learns to love them.
This story takes place in Germany, during Hitler’s reign. It is a dangerous thing not to be a member of the Nazi Party, but Liesel’s foster father isn’t. Something happens that puts Liesel, her foster mother and father all in danger.
I won’t tell you because it will ruin the surprise, but read this book and I guarantee you’ll love it!
