The Book Thief

Bibliographic Information: Zusak, M. (2005). The book thief. New York, New York: Random House.

Annotation: This is the tale of a young girl living in Nazi Germany. The story is told from Death's point of view.

Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction

Grade Level: 6th to 12th

Readers Who Will Like This Book: Readers who are interested in WWII stories and stories about the intricacies of personal relationships.

Personal Response and Rating: I rate this a 4. Death as narrator is an interesting addition about a young girl who deals with more adult types of challenges. It gave a unique perspective of what some of Germany's citizens must have gone through because of Hitler and the regime.

Prereading Question: Do you think all Germans believed it was appropriate to persecute Jews?
