The Most Transformational Book I Have Read

The most transformational book I have read was The Book Theif by Markus Zusak. I read this book the summer of seventh grade. This book transformed me because I was exposed for the first time to the struggle of living in Nazi Germany. As young Liesel endures countless hardships and now must live with the weight of hiding a Jew in her basement I have learned the true meaning of bravery. Through even the hardest of times Liesel still manages to find the light. This book transformed me in many ways and showed me the true meaning of family, friendship, hope, and bravery. Overall I enjoyed this book very much and learned so much from it.
