The Grave Digger's Handbook



If you have read "The Book Thief" or are reading you probably know what I'm talking about.  Liesel, the main character, steals her first book.  Of course its from the grave digger that was burying Liesel's brother who died on the train too there new guardians, the Hubermanns, which Liesel now had to live with by herself.

The first book of the story of Liesel will bring you a little bit of everything, from Rosa Hubermann, her ungrateful foster mom, to almost having to kiss Rudy Steiner, her strange neighbor. Its describes what it was like living as a German citizen in a small town near the large German city of Munich under the rule of Hitler.  Also Liesel beats up another shool mate during recess. "She stood up and took the book from him and as he smiled over his shoulder at some other kids she threw it away and kicked him as hard as she could in the vicinity of the groin"(  In the prologue there was tons of figurative language because it was narrated through deaths eyes.
