Markus Zusak (2006) The Book Thief.
You may be put off reading this exceptional book because Death himself tells the story. But as a narrator, Death is all but frightening. In a sardonic but gentle tone, with great humor, Death conveys the life of Liesel Meminger, a child of 9 years, living in a foster family with her sarcastic step mother and loving step father. Set in Nazi Germany Liesel is saved by the
books she is stealing - and, ultimately, by the one she is writing herself.
