Storyline
In February 1938, Death himself tells about how a young girl called Liesel Meminger had piqued his interest. She is taunted by her schoolmates who chant ‘dummkopf’ at her. When Hans, her foster father, realizes that Liesel cannot read, he begins to teach her, using the book that she took from the graveside along with a giant chalkboard.

“Not every good book needs to be a movie. I still believe nothing tells a story with the richness and complexity of a good novel.”
