    **The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

In this book, the charcters are: Liesel Meminger:the skinny, pale, quit, not able to read or write, new 10 year-old girl. She lives with her foster parents Rosa and Hans Hubermann and finds getting used to her new home quite relaxing (even when Rosa beats her) Rosa Hubermann:Liesel's new foster mother who is creul, and shows her love for Liesel (and her husband!) by swearing in German and beating them with a wooden spoon. :-[ Hans Huberman : Hans is the probably the nicest German in this book. When Liesel would wake up with nightmares about her brother, Hans would comfort her in the middle of the night and would sleep in the chair next to her just in case. and Rudy Steiner: the sporty, girl loving, Jesse Owens wannabe, and Liesel's new best friend, the 10 year-old who also lives on Himmel Street with Liesel. (He just might like Liesel too!)** ** "Book Thief" takes place in Nazi Germany, durring World War I and II. It's 1940 and it's the day after Hitler's birthday. To Liesel, Hitler's birthday isn't just that, it's also the day she first stole book #1... The Shoulder Shurg Everyone is up to Hitlers next big move, espeically since it's his birthday. All the tension and everything, has Liesel thinking that maybe Hitler had taken her mother and she wants no part of Hitler at all The Narrator is Death himself,and Death explains that this story is really just: "a small story about: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fighter, and A LOT of thievery. There are a few settings in this story but mainly the setting is Liesel's foster parent's house on Himmel Street. (Himmel=Heaven in German)

The 2 main topics of the Book Thief are: Hope and Family. We think hope because: Liesel thinks she can do whatever she sets her mind to, even if the other children make fun and tease. She doesn't think that age matters about reading and what your supposed to be able to read and write. We think Family because: This story wouldn't be complete if Liesel wouldnt have moved from her mother to the Hubermanns.** Conflicts: ===1 conflict would be when Liesel's mother dropped her off at the Hubermanns for the very first time.

Another conflict would be when Liesel went to school, and she meant Rudy and she punch Tommy Muller in the face and all of that. ===
