Summary
Liesel, a nine-year-old girl, is living with a foster family on Himmel Street. Her parents have been taken away to a concentration camp. She befriends blond-haired Rudy Steiner, her neighbour obsessed with Jesse Owens. Together Liesel and Rudy steal books… - from Nazi book burning piles, from the mayor's library, from the richer people of Molching. By 1943, the Allied bombs are falling, and the sirens begin to wail. For Junior and Senior High readers. Some strong language. 2007.
