Do you want to build a snowman?
This part starts with Death talking about all of the deaths and souls that he is having to take away. He says, "Sometimes I imagined how everything looked above those clouds, knowing
without question that the sun was blond, and the endless atmosphere was a
giant blue eye"(Zusak 350).
In book 6, it is Christmas Eve. On this day, Liesel builds a snowman in the basement for Max. After that, Max gets really sick and goes into a coma. While Max is in the coma, Death comes to visit, but does not take his soul away.
Liesel brings Max presents from the outside world, such as pine cones, a feather, and a candy wrapper. One time while Liesel is staring at the clouds, Hans suggests that she give Max a cloud as a present.
Liesel starts reading a book called The Whistler, in hope that when she is finished, Max will wake up. After she is finished, he still doesn't wake up, and Liesel overhears Rosa and Hans talking about what they would do if max would die. They didn't know where they would hide the body.
At one point, Liesel and Rudy take a bike ride to the mayor's house and end up stealing another book because the window is open. The book is called The Dream Carrier. Death suggest that maybe Frau Hermann leaves the window open on purpose.
Max finally wakes up. Rosa finds Liesel at school to tell her the news.
Nazi soldiers start searching basements for Jews in Molching. In the middle of a soccer game, Liesel sees them and pretends to get hurt so she can talk to Hans. Liesel tells him before the soldiers come, but they don't have time to hide Max. Luckily, Max heard them coming and hid, therefore, the soldiers didn't find him.
