Summary
In a rural Minnesota town populated by German immigrants during World War I, Liesel, the only girl in the Richter family, hides a secret that precludes all hope of living a normal life and turns to her closest friend, Lester, a gentle, "slow" boy who spends his days trapping turtles, an act that leads to unexpected consequences for both their families.
