From the international best-selling book comes a moving story of a girl who transforms the lives of those around her during World War II, Germany. Although Liesel is illiterate when she is adopted by a German couple, her adoptive father encourages her to learn to read using a book she had stolen at her brother's funeral. As Liesel's love of reading grows, she begins to collect books wherever she can. Ultimately, the power of words helps Liesel, her new parents, and a Jewish refugee hiding under the stairs escape from the events unfolding around them. Menu navigation required.
