Das Buch eignet sich hervorragend für den Unterricht, aufgrund des Umfangs benötigen die Schülerinnen und Schüler aber klare Strukturierungshilfen. Sie erfassen die Handlung zunächst mithilfe eines Lesetagebuchs, ehe der Inhalt vertieft und mit dem historischen Kontext (Ideologie der NSDAP, Verlauf des Zweiten Weltkrieges, Beginn der systematischen Judenverfolgung) verbunden wird. Abschließend rücken einzelne Aspekte wie die Erzählperspektive, die Bedeutung der Bücher für Liesel oder die unterschiedliche Haltung der Mitmenschen in der Zeit des Krieges in den Fokus. Der Roman wurde 2009 mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis ausgezeichnet, 2013 mit hochkarätiger internationaler Besetzung verfilmt.

These special fairy tales, which Oscar Wilde made up for his own sons, include 'The Happy Prince', who was not as happy as he seemed; 'The Selfish Giant', who learned to love little children; 'The Star Child', who suffered bitter trials when he rejected his parents. . . .

From the bestselling author of "The Book Thief" comes this single-volume collection of Zusak's trilogy about the Wolfe brothers: "The Underdog, Fighting Reuben Wolfe," and "Getting the Girl." Original.

In the final novel of the acclaimed Wolfe Brothers Trilogy, Cameron Wolfe goes looking for love as he attempts to escape his brother’s shadow. Cameron Wolfe is a loser. He knows it. He’s the quiet one, not a soccer star like his brother Steve or a charming fighter with a new girl every week like his brother Rube. Cam would give anything to be near one of those girls, to love her and treat her right. He especially likes Rube’s latest, Octavia, with her brilliant ideas and bright green eyes. But what woman like that would want a loser like him? Maybe Octavia would, Cam discovers. Maybe he has talents and passions just waiting to be discovered. And those maybes are about to change everything: winning, loving, losing, the Wolfe brothers, and Cameron himself.
