The Book Thief

554 pages

The novel by Markus Zusak called The Book Thief is not for people who aren't up for a challenge. The book is narrated entirely by Death and takes place during the Holocaust. It has many characters in it, but one main character is Liesel Meminger who was an orphan taken in by foster family. She only loves one thing in the world: books. When she first came to her foster family she couldn't read, but had just stolen her first book about digging graves. Her foster father helped her learn to read and soon she had many stolen books. Liesel shares these books with her neighbors as well as a Jewish man that her foster family is hiding in the basement. Liesel and the Jewish man are very close until he is forced to find a different hiding place. This book was very hard to read and even harder to keep track of what was going on. The narrator, Death, kept using flashbacks and other stories to tell the main story. I do think this was a good book though. Whoever reads it just has to make sure to take a lot of notes.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

216 pages

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was a really good book. It's about two young boys named Bruno and Shmeul. Shmeul lives in a concentration camp and is Jewish, but Bruno lives in a house by the concentration camp. Bruno and Shmeul start talking and find out they have the same birthday. They find out that they actually have a lot of things in common. This leads to a really important and unexpected friendship with an extremely sad ending.

My Second Bookthief Post

I noticed that Death said she would take her second book soon. I also noticed that she is still having nightmares about her brother. Do you wonder like me if that is going to effect her later on, or will she be caught for stealing another book?

The Book Thief


In the novel The Book Thief, the main character is a little girl named Liesel who lives in Germany during Hitler's rule. Liesel comes from very a poor family. She was given to a foster family by her parents because they thought Liesel would be better off there. One of the things that I noticed in Part 1 is that Liesel was not given to members of the Nazi party. I thought this was significant because this tells me that Liesel could be in danger later on in the novel. I think she is either in danger or her new family will have to join the Nazi party. I am very worried that Liesel's new family will be hurt or killed because they are not Nazis, but are surrounded by neighbors who are.

To Kill A Mocking Bird

I found this book to be a good book because I could relate to the children in the story. Scout and I are the same age, 10, and I thought she was very brave. I am so glad that there isn't as much prejudice in this country as there was then. I think that would scare me a lot. Atticus was a very smart man and was able to go to court and help a lot of people. I would recommend this book to anyone who was curious about life in the south in the 1920's and 30's.

 The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis

The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis is a very interesting book. I would recommend it to anyone who loves a good fantasy. In the story, four kids find a magical wardrobe in their uncle's old house. When they open it up it is a portal to a fantasy world. This world is full of amazing creatures like a Faun who is half human and half deer. Things aren't always as they seem though. Just as the kids think they have found the best land in the universe, they meet an evil queen. She is so wicked that she kidnaps one of them.Who was kidnapped? How will the others get their sibling back? What other creatures will they meet and how does the lion fit in? How will they survive in a mysterious land of magic and talking animals?These are all things to find out in this amazing book!

I was suddenly flung into an ultra universe! When all of a sudden we floated to a random forest. After that I started freaking out because Jadis started shirinking. Then out of nowhere we fell into a black pit and everyone else was coming to. Then I heard this horrible singing but the children and caddy were enjoying it I dont even know how they liked it. After when the light came I saw the accursed creature! It was a lion I knew that it wasn't singing, it was roaring. I knew it me the smartest scholar
