The Book Thief

 The Book Thief   By Markus Zusak
***** 5/5 stars   Historical Fiction
At the beginning of WW II, Lisel is forced to live with foster parents. She also does not know how to read. As WW II progresses, Lisel discovers the power of words. She realizes that they can be used for good or evil.

Lisel reminds me of Katie from Kira-kira. Lisel is similar to Katie because she is very hopeful and she goes through a lot of hardship. Now that I think about it, Lisel also reminds me of Ling from Revolution is not a Dinner Party. Ling goes through hardship like Lisel and Katie. Both Lisel and Ling care a lot about others.

The Book Thief is sure to make an impact on your life.  At the very least, this book will make you see things differently.
