7. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

It is advertised as a "young adult " book , and since I, as an old woman still like to keep up with things I decided to read it

and I am so glad that I did

It is about (among many other things) a young girl growing up in Nazi Germany, an accordian player who is much more than meets the eye, A young Jewish man with hair like feathers , and a sweet young boy who plays soccer, runs like the wind , and loves the girl with all of his heart.

I highly recommend this book, do not be put off by the fact that it is for "young adults. If you hate labels as much as I do just ignore them!
