Swapping of Nightmares

In this chapter, Max moves to the basement, and continues to feel guilty for leaving his family and for putting Hans, Rosa, and Liesel in danger. He also feels guilty about wanting to live. They use drop clothes and paint cans to hide him. Liesel is reading The whisper. Max, and liesel talk about their nightmares.

This chapter was really interesting for me because Max and Liesel's develop a relationship. At first Liesel pretends he is not down there, but then she is told to bring him his soup, and she finds out he is reading an interesting book, but she does not have the nerve to ask him about it. When she finally asks him about it they connect through stories, their love of books, and their nightmares. I wonder if Max will be found. And if he is found will Liesel will try to get him back?

  1. I wondered the same thing. If Max was to be found, what would Liesel do? Would she go searching for him? I also noticed the developing friendship between Max and Liesel. Liesel always tried to avoid Max until she brought him soup. After that they started growing closer. Did you have a favorite quote or line from this section?
