Imagine learning to read using The Grave Digger’s Handbook. That is exactly what happens in which book that The Friday Morning Bookclub read?

Thank you Audrey! The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is correct. After nine year old Liesel’s father is accused of being a Communist and is arrested, Liesel is sent to live with a foster family taking with her The Gravedigger’s Handbook. Liesel’s foster father reads the book to her at night when she cannot sleep. “If I die anytime soon, you make sure they bury me right,” he tells her. The Gravedigger’s Handbook was the first book Liesel had stolen but certainly not her last. This was a book club favorite!
