Summary Of The Book Thief By Markus Zusak
This is a stunningly beautiful novel of a girl living in Germany during the holocaust, suitable for both teenagers and adults to read.

There is some language, but nothing a mature 12-year old couldn't take. If you remember this is a sad book, then you'll realize this for the classic it is. A testament to humanity. The way in which Zusak writes is quite inspiring and just reading the descriptions with no storyline or plot would be enough for me! This is one of my favorite
