The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
Markus Zusak's The Book Thief hands the story of a German girl in the Hitler years to the one narrator who sees all of it: Death. The result is a coming-of-age novel about a child who steals books in a country burning them, and about the people who keep her human while the world comes apart.
