The book thief by Marcus ZusakRead about the life of a German girl in Nazi Germany during WW2. She loves to read but because her family is very poor she cannot afford them, so she steals them from the unknowing rich in the village. This book was very interesting as most books we read about children in the British side of the war, but we never get to see what it was like for the German children. This is what makes the book very interesting as we get to see things from a different perspective.
