I just finished the BEST book! It was called The Book Thief.
The story takes place in Nazi Germany, 1939. An unexpected narrator follows the life of an illiterate little girl named Leisel Meminger who one day steals a book from a graveyard on the day of her six-year-old brother's funeral. The book is titled The Grave Diggers Hand Book. This is her first act of book thievery. Leisel's foster father teaches her how to read and soon her hunger for books grows until she is pushed to steal again. However, her world gets a little more complicated when her family decides to hide a Jew in their basement.
