I am reading a book called The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The Book Thief is about a 13 year old German girl named Liesel who is living during the Holocaust. Liesel used to live with her mom and brother during but her mom ended up giving Liesel and her brother to some foster parents. On the way to the foster people's house Lisle’s younger brother ends up dying so Liesel ends up going to the foster people alone. Her foster parents are an older couple named Hans and Rosa Hubermann. While staying with the Hubermann’s she becomes good friends with a boy named Rudy. Rudy and Liesel end up going through a lot together, including stealing food to stop their hunger. Lisle’s first stealing experience was when she was watching her brother being buried. One of the grave diggers had a book in his pocket. When he was digging the hole the book ended up falling out of his pocket into the ground. Liesel saw this and when the guy wasn’t watching she grabbed the book of the ground. Even though Liesel couldn’t read the book she kept it because it was a memory of the last time she had seen her brother and her mom. During her time at the Hubermann’s Liesel stole some more books from places for various reasons. In the book right now Hans Hubermann is coming home from the war and Liesel just stole another book from the mayor’s wife.

I'm reading this book too and i love it. I think it's kinda crazy though. The guy death or whatever his name is is kinda scary. He thinks that he should be all open about dying. I felt bad for the girl though when her brother died and she keeps having those bad nightmares. I feel bad for her new foster dad. Now her foster mother i know some people like her and they shouldn't have children ever. they shouldn't be allowed to have kids.
Heyy Becca!
That sounds like a good book but sad, though, with her brother dying. I've never read a book that is about a person who is not Jewish during the holocaust. Are the foster parents good or are they mean?
I will have to check it out some time!
