The Book Thief- Intro
Every book that Liesel comes across has a memory attached to it, and has a significant impact on her actions and relationships. Liesel Meminger is the diligent, compassionate, and assertive star of the novel, The Book Thief. She loves books so much that she begins to steal them, even before she knows how to read! Liesel had a tough start towards reading. In fact, without her foster father Hans, and his dedication towards teaching her, she would never have learned how to read at all. Since then, reading has captured Liesel’s interest. Throughout her stay with her foster parents Liesel finds refuge, power, and a clearer understanding of the events that shape her life, through the books she reads.
