My name is Liesel Meminger.

___________1_____________.

I never understood the meaning of the word "hope".

But I'm about to meet the people who will change all that.

Come! Meet your new parents.

Your majesty.

From now on you call me "Mama", yeah?

And that lazy pig over there, you call him "papa".

Your first book.

Are you sure this is yours?

It wasn't always mine.

Can't you even read yet?

Go on! Read one word!

I'm not such a good reader myself, you know?

We will have to help each other out.

I have something very important to tell you Liesel.

Who is he, papa?

His name is Max. And he needs help.

I need you to promise me that you will not tell anyone.

Is that your book? 

It wasn't always mine.

Mama! They're coming.

_________2__________.

If anyone saw him, they would take you away from me.

And I cannot tell you what they would do to him.

Words will inspire her.

If your eyes could speak, what would they say?

Courage will guide her.

You're hiding someone, aren't you?

Can we trust her? She's a child.

She's our daughter.

Hope will define her.

I can't lose someone else. 

You've kept me alive,

don't ever forget that.

You're stealing books? Why?

___________3_____________.

Words are life, Liesel.

All those pages, they're for you to fill.
