The Book Thief
By the way, I can't in all fairness say good things about the book I did in my last post (The Boy In the Striped Pajamas) without also recommending THE BOOK THEIF, by Markus Zusak, which I recently read and which is also a World WarII Holocaust story and truly amazing. I came to love the characters in that book in so much deeper a way than I have in the other--and in that regard they aren't even in the same league. I just hadn't commented publicly on THE BOOK THIEF since it was already getting such recognition and known by so many. But if you haven't read it, do!
