The setting of my book...
Liesel and Rudy live on Himmel Street in Molching, Germany. I researched and found out that Molching is a fictional town, but there is a town near it that I hear mentioned in the book that is called Munich. Liesel lives in 33 Himmel Street and Rudy lives on 35 Himmel Street. In Molching is a river called the Amper River, Liesel's papa likes to spend some time by himself by the river because he wants to be alone. This book takes place in 1939-1945 most of which was the WWII. Another part of the setting in this book is where Papa is right now. He is in Stuttgart, Germany. Stuttgart is a city where Papa is working for the Nazi army by picking up dead bodies after people in the war drop bombs over Germany. They would keep Jews in a concentration camp there in Stuttgart.

As soon as you mentioned Germany, had a flashback to this summer, where I, unfortunatley, did not get to go, but several of my very good friends traveled there to go to the World Youth Alliance Conference in Leipsig Germany, which is quite close to Munich as well, they visited serveral landmarks and buildings in Munich as they passed through.

This is exactly what I was looking for in this post assignment. You gave some great background information about your book, and even went above and beyond and did some research! I am very impressed! You paint a very vivid, specific picture of the setting of this book. Great work!
I've always wanted to go to Germany. I do the same thing sometimes, research the book and see of where it is placed is an actual place. :D
