This novel, written for young adults, tells the story of a girl living in Germany during WWII who copes with the turmoil around her through the books she steals. The book is introduced and narrated by Death, whose voice provides a unique and haunting perspective of wartime. Included among its awards are the 2007 Printz Honor Book and the 2007 Top Ten Best Books for Young Adults , both from the Young Adult Library Association.

"The Book Thief" is one of my favorite books. It is not for teens only, we read it in one of my book clubs. I am a grandmother and read many teen books. Tell your parents and grandparents about the book, they will thank you.
Thanks so much for your comments about "The Book Thief" We agree that it is a book teens and adults can enjoy. We hope you will join our many programs for Greenwich Reads Together. The author Markus Zusak is speaking here tonight at 7 p.m.
