A profoundly moving and remarkable story about a young girl living in Germany with a foster family during WWII. The story is told from an interesting point of view, Death, and is one of the best YA books I've read. The foster family takes in Liesel, the protagonist of the story and teaches her to read and write. Other friends will help her deal with the poverty and heartaches of war. I think this is destined to be a classic. I cannot more highly recommend this book!
