Summary:
It's 1939 in Molching, Germany, and horror is everywhere. Nazi rule has divided the nation into
those who are brutalized and those who are merely oppressed. Hunger, fear, and isolation reign.
There are stories here, and who better to tell them than Death? Gathering souls, Death observes
the many mysteries of human nature. How can people be cruel and kind, sad and joyful, bitter
and beautiful, loving and inhumane...all at the same time? Death is especially struck by young
Liesel Meminger, a nine-year old girl who faces loss, abandonment, and hopelessness. Yet Liesel
finds refuge from her nightmares with her foster mother, who always seems to make the right
decision, even in the face of so much wrong; with her foster father, who introduces her to the
power of words and books; and with a secret friend, who teaches her how to overcome her fears
through telling her own story.
Celebrating the way that books and stories unite people in the face of tragedy, this haunting,
weighty, and transformative book is impossible to forget.

is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor
viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for
companionship, she discovers that she does possess power...
