A young girl, an accordiontist, a jewish fistfighter, lot of thievery!

The story of Liesel Meminger, from her arrival at the street of heaven, here growing up with her foster parents, the thieveries with her best friend Rudy, the state of Nazi Germany, the tragdey as it happens on the steet of heaven. Beautifully narrated (by death), engrossing and you will "live" through the book as you read.

Would've loved to rate it more than 5! :-)
