The girl's foster father traded cigarettes in exchange for some of these books. "Eight cigarettes per book", he said. The little girl went to the mayor's wife's house, and she showed the girl a room full of books. There were so many books that each wall was covered with them. The girl was amazed that a room like this existed. She couldn't stop herself from smiling. The mayor's wife allowed her to look around at the different book shelves. The girl felt so happy about this, and she found this to be a rather magical experience. The girl was illiterate when she stole her first book, but then her foster father taught her how to read. The book The Grave Digger's Handbook helped the girl to learn to deal with her brother's death while on the way to her foster parents' house.The girl loved reading her books at night, because reading made her feel good, and it was also a way for her to bond with her foster father.
If you want a chance to own a part of the book thief's history, then you should hurry to e-bay, and get yourself one of these books today!
Good job of focusing on an important part of Liselle's character. Since we read some parts of each book with her, it makes sense to make the rest of these stories available to readers. I wonder if they could include some commentary about how they connect to and relate to The Book Thief.
