Friends,
Now that the book "Book Thief" is a movie, I have a question for school librarians. Do you think the book is appropriate for children? I asked this question of the author when the book first came out. He responded that that was not his intention, but that it was marketed that way in the USA by the publisher and cataloged as such in the USA. Personally, I would not have recommended the book for children or even young adults unless they knew a great deal about the Shoah and were very mature. Paula Sandfelder
