The Book Thief by Zusak
This is a fascinating piece of young adult World War II fiction. Although written for a young audience, as an adult I found the story just as riveting. I thoroughly enjoyed Zusak’s use of literary devices as he describes the life of a young German girl in Nazi Germany as she learns to read and write, adjusts to a new family and neighborhood, and grows into an adult – all under the reign of Hitler. The Book Thief addresses the topic of humanity, love, and death and dying in a whole new way with Death as a narrator and a Jew in Nazi Germany hiding in the basement. I would definitely utilize as a supplement to a 12 year old’s World War II studies and I think it is also a great book for Books-on-Books collectors like myself!

More Chickeny Goodness from Andi’s Kitchen
Lemon-Honey Chicken:
Layer into small casserole pan – lemon juice (from lemon), butter, sage, dill, chicken wrapped in onion slices, more lemon juice, honey, more butter.
Bake slowly until cooked and serve with rice and corn.
Italian Dressing Chicken:
In a small casserole pan – Pour Creamy Italian Dressing over chicken until the chicken is good and buried. Slice some onion and one small tomatoe over it. (Stir that into the dressing good so the onion slices don’t blacken in the oven, we want them to stay good and juicy as they bake!) Bake until cooked! Serve with buttered spaghetti noodles and garlic toast. I poured the excess juice from the pan over my pasta as well once it was in my bowl and sprinkled some parmesean cheese on top.
