The Book Thief
My name is Ellie, and for most years I was invisible. Not tearfully, pitifully invisible, just quietly, unobtrusively invisible the way some people exist without ever commanding a great deal of attention. I wasn't popular. I wasn't a prodigy. I wasn't a person you'd look and think about if you were walking down the street and passed me. But I did possess one small, defiant secret that made me feel seen, if only by myself.
