The Book Thief By: Markus Zusak

 The Book Thief is a book set in Nazi Germany in a little town and is focused around a teenage girl who steals books. The book is narrated by death making it a little dark but it is a great and entertaining story. The story is about Liesel Meminger, a german girl who is sent to a foster home in a small town in Germany. Her foster family isn't rich but they care for her and she quickly makes friends with Rudy Steiner who lives close by. As she settles in to her new home the Nazi activity is rising quickly. The Story follows her life in Nazi Germany, and her adventures trying to survive. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone willing to take the time to read it as it is a bit long. I loved it all the way through.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The little prince is a short book about a little boy from a little planet, who leaves on a flock of birds tied together like balloons. He goes to many planets, sees adults in their work crazy, power-crazy forms, and then comes to earth and lands in the desert, where a pilot has crashed and is repairing his plane.  The pilot is the narrator of the book. and the story Is told from his perspective. The Little Prince awes the pilot with his perspective on life and his rose. The little prince was originally french and was published in English and french when it was first published. It is definitely one of my favorites. Is it yours?
