Published in 2006, “The Book Thief” has won multiple prestigious awards, including the Michael L. Printz Honor Book award, the ALA Best Books for Young Adults award, and being listed on The New York Times Best Seller list for over 230 weeks.
The film adaptation will be released in theaters this November 15th. It will be directed by Brian Perciva and scripted by Michael Petroni. Sophie Nélisse, a French-Canadian actress, will be playing the protagonist, Liesel Meminger. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that John Williams (Star Wars, Superman) himself will compose the music soundtrack.
Hundreds of fans of the book have commented on the trailer on YouTube, the majority praising how closely it seemed to follow the book. Said one fan, “Chills. So many chills.
