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.

YA. Adventure. It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.

My name's Cameron Wolfe. I have a bit of sense. I don't have much sense. My older brother Ruben gets me in plenty of trouble. I get Rube into trouble as he gets me into. I have family, yes, that doesn't really function without tomato sauce. That's me. Cameron and Ruben are mostly throwing one-handed boxing matches and plotting to rob local dentists. But what Cameron wants is to meet a real girl, not like the ones in magazines. But who could ever love an underdog like Cameron Wolfe?
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.
