The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is a novel that follows a young girl in Germany before and during WWII. At this point in the book, the young girl, Liesel, is getting settled into her foster home. Her and her father have formed a wholesome bond and Liesel’s mother loves her, even if it doesn’t always seem like it. Liesel has also started to learn how to read and has developed a passion for books and knowledge. This is a really interesting book with many different plot points, I would definitely recommend.
