On the eve of World War II, the 9-year-old girl Lissell and her brother were forced to send to a foster family in the outer suburbs of Munich. The 6-year-old brother unfortunately died on the road. After a deserted funeral, Lissell accidentally got her first book, The Gravedigger's Handbook. This will be one of the 14 books that will bring her infinite comfort. The father of this lonely child was captured by the Nazis, and his mother later disappeared. Under the guidance of her adoptive father, she learned to read. Despite the hardship of life, she found something more irresistible than food-books. She couldn't help but start stealing books. Lissell, the poor girl who was called the "book thief" by the god of death, worked hard to survive in war-torn Germany and unbelievably helped others who were also suffering.
