1943
Everyone that Liesel loves is dead except Max. She's heartbroken. It turns out that Death picked up the book she had been writing. The only reason she survived is because she was in the basement writing her book.

# data[].attributes.body
In this story, most of the characters are made up but the time period is not. In real life, Jews had to hide, like Max V in The Book Thief. This book was told by Death to see others perspectives instead of seeing it one way. It switches between Max's point and Liesel's point of view so we don't just see them as how they are described. Hitler coming to power impacts Liesel's life so much. Without Hitler, Max would have never come to her house, and she would have never stolen her second book. Hans would have never been sent to war, and Liesel's neighborhood would have never been bombed. The author tells Liesel's story, while including historical aspects. Liesel's story wouldn't have existed without the history.
