It is 1939. Nazi Germany holds its breath, and Death has never been busier. By her brother's graveside, nine-year-old Liesel's life is changed forever when she picks up a single abandoned object in the snow: The Gravedigger's Handbook, her first act of book thievery.
So begins Liesel's love affair with books and words, as she steals from Nazi book-burnings and the mayor's wife's library. But these are dangerous times, and when Liesel's foster family hides a Jewish man in their basement, nothing will ever be the same again.
Narrated by Death himself, The Book Thief is a modern classic beloved by millions of readers worldwide. By Markus Zusak, published by Black Swan (Transworld/Random House UK), 560 pages, paperback.
